That's not true at all. 3UK had one of the world's first operational 3G services.

4G LTE rollout in the UK was and is painfully slow. The only good thing was that a lot of networks had very good coverage of HSPA+ and DC-HSPDA which is pretty close to LTE responsiveness in day to day use.

From a technical perspective, yes the UK had early 3G, however uptake was slow compared to 4g.
