The number of mobile base stations providing 5G services has more than doubled over the last year to over 6,500 sites across the UK – 87 percent of these are in England, 8 percent in Scotland, 3 percent in Wales and 2 percent Northern Ireland.
Indeed, the underground's 5G is often faster and more reliable than that on the surface in central London. You'll get a phone signal so long as you're on one of the four UK networks: EE, Vodafone, Three and VMO2. Your phone should automatically connect, and there is no extra charge.
Three claims to be the fastest UK 5G network and it provides 99.8% of the outdoor population with 3G and 4G in the UK. In October 2020, Three was found to have 4G download/upload speeds on 22.2/8.0Mbps with 48.3ms 4G latency. Nearly 99% of the outdoor population is covered by O2's 3G and 4G.
A bullet point at the start of the press release states: 'Around half of the properties in the UK are now in an area with outdoor 5G coverage'. This phrasing appears to be making allowance for the fact that, even if your house is near a 5G base station, it still might not get through your walls.
