Point Topic for its part claims that as of September 2020, the average 5G download speed across the UK’s networks is 148Mbps, with the median being 128Mbps. You can see both extremes of that in the September 2022 Mobile Network Experience report from Opensignal, which put Three’s average 5G download speeds at 228.4Mbps, and O2’s at 92.3Mbps, with EE and Vodafone filling out the middle.

We’re not at that level yet, but reported peak download speeds have already reached 753Mbps (based on a Point Topic / Thinkbroadband report from late 2020) and some networks claim that speeds of upwards of 1Gbps are already being experienced.Īverage download speeds are currently up to six times faster than 4G and twenty five times faster than 3G, and 5G is already faster than fibre broadband in many areas around the UK. Does 5G use more data and how much data do I need?ĥG is rolling out across the UK on every major network, and brings with it far higher speeds than 4G with a theoretical maximum speed of between 10 and 50Gbps, according to the regulatory body Ofcom.How to get a Three eSIM and activate it.How to get a Vodafone eSIM and activate it.
