Maximum download speeds (via Point Topic) Below you can see details of actual maximum speeds that tests by Point Topic and / Thinkbroadband and RootMetrics have achieved with each network. 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. 2) 5G network speeds 2.1 Maximum 5G speeds in the UK For example, Vodafone’s median 5G speed in London as recorded by RootMetrics in the second half of 2020 was 216.6Mbps, which is over 11 times faster than the 18.7Mbps median speed it recorded on 4G.Īnd 5G is set to get faster as time goes on, with theoretical speeds that could be hundreds of times faster than 4G, based on the 10-50Gbps estimate from Ofcom. The peak meanwhile was recorded at 753Mbps – that’s the highest recent figure we’ve seen from independent tests (carried out by Point Topic / Thinkbroadband).įor the 4G and 3G average download speeds in the chart above we’ve used the highest average speeds on Ofcom’s Mobile Network Experience Update from October 2020.Ĭurrently, you can expect 5G to be between around 3 and 6 times faster than 4G on average, but in some cases that difference is much greater. 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. The exact figures will vary from network to network and place to place, but the averages recorded will normally to be in that range. 1) How fast is 5G?īased on the currently available data from RootMetrics, Point Topic, Opensignal and other validated tests, across the UK’s networks you can expect average 5G download speeds of between 100Mbps – 200Mbps. 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. 5G external antennas for routers: all you need to knowĥG 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.
