The U.K.’s four largest mobile operators — EE, Vodafone, Three UK and O2 — have launched 5G technologies in the U.K.’s main cities, as well as in a number of small and medium-sized cities.
In September 2020, Point Topic and Thinkbroadband conducted speed tests on each of the operator’s 5G networks and found that the U.K.’s 5G speeds are nearly four times faster than 4G, but are not quite what U.K. regulator Ofcom promised they would be because of the limited spectrum availability.
