Hundreds of thousands of tests by multiple independent investigators have found data speeds to have increased by 2x-3x on average across all users, including all existing 3G customers.

4G will provide much better coverage - yes. However, not all providers got a "nice chunk" of 800Mhz. Only two providers did - and those two providers already hold all the 900Mhz as well, giving them a massive advantage they've so far made little of.
The other two operators (3 and EE) actually have too little 800Mhz to run an effective network on, hence why neither of them have actually used their 800 yet. It will mostly be restricted to VoLTE purposes as it lacks the bandwidth for anything else, at least until the 700Mhz auction ends. The average speeds on 800Mhz alone will be lower than 3G for both those networks, but will carry a big range advantage over 2100Mhz 3G.

That's the thing, often these days I usually get some signal and decent speed or absolutely nothing. If it's a choice between getting zero signal and getting a partial but very slow signal, I'll take what I can get.
My experiences are worst on trains, whereby I'll usually have a signal then pass through a not-spot. It's only for a few seconds, maybe a couple of minutes but everything just stops dead and all signal is lost - it's quite frustrating.
