Based on the currently available data from RootMetrics, Speedtest, Opensignal and other validated tests, across the UK’s networks you can expect average 5G download speeds of between roughly 70Mbps – 205Mbps. The exact figures will vary from network to network and place to place, but the averages recorded will normally to be in that range. You can ...
2.1 Maximum 5G speeds in the UK
While 5G is fast, exactly how fast will depend in part on where you are and what network you’re on, but we’re now getting a good picture of the general speeds you can expect. Below you can see details of actual maximum speeds that 2020 tests by Point Topic/Thinkbroadband have achieved with each network, along with more recent 95th percentile speeds from RootMetrics, recorded in 2023. At the time of writing, the results in the chart above are among the highest 5G download speeds we’ve seen rep...
2.2.) EE 5G download speeds
When it comes to EE’s 5G speeds, Point Topic and Thinkbroadband have provided a maximum 5G download speed of 753Mbps for EE based on its tests. This is an older report from 2020 but it’s the highest speed we’ve seen for EE. However, in a more recent 2H 2023 report, RootMetrics puts EE’s 95th percentile 5G download speed at 638.5Mbps. That same report found that EE’s median 5G download speed was 174.1Mbps – though Speedtest in the second half of 2023 put the median at a much lower 94.79Mbps. F...
2.3) Three 5G download speeds
Some of the latest data we have on Three’s 5G speeds comes from Opensignal, which in September 2023 recorded its average 5G download speeds as being 205.5Mbps, which is higher than any rival. We also have 2H 2023 data from RootMetrics, which found Three’s median 5G download speed was 165.7Mbps, and its 95th percentile 5G download speed (which will be close to the highest) was 853.4Mbps. The latter is the highest on test, while the former beats all rivals except EE. Similarly, according to Spe...
Testing what 5G speed you’re really getting is easy, as a number of sites and apps will do the job. Before opting for any of them though make sure you’re actually connected to 5G rather than a Wi-Fi network or 4G. To do this, turn Wi-Fi off on your phone, and check for an icon saying ‘5G’ on your phone’s status bar. Then, one of the simplest option...
Latency is how long it takes the network to respond to a request, which could be you trying to play a song or video or load a website for example. The network has to respond before it even starts loading, which can lead to minor but perceptible lag and is especially problematic for online games, as each input has a new response time. Over 3G those ...
As 5G evolves and becomes less dependent on 4G infrastructure, and more spectrum becomes available, estimates put download speeds at up to 1000 times faster than 4G, potentially exceeding 10Gbps, which would enable you to download an entire HD film in less than a second. Some estimates are more conservative, but even the most conservative put it at...
