The latest biannual H1 2020 study of mobile network (4G<\/a> and 5G<\/a>) performance across the United Kingdom, which was conducted by RootMetrics<\/a>, has once again named EE<\/a> (BT<\/a>) as the best overall operator. On top of that they delivered the fastest median (average) broadband download speed of 42.6Mbps (up from 36.5Mbps).<\/p>\n

The latest study has, for the first time, been conducted by harnessing a batch of 5G<\/a> Smartphones, specifically the Samsung Note 10+ 5G<\/a><\/strong> as purchased off the shelf from operator stores (earlier studies used the 4G<\/a> based Samsung Galaxy S9). The data this time around will thus include some impact from early 5G deployments (currently only present in a few urban areas).<\/p>\n

The testing itself was conducted during both the day and night across 16 of the UK’s most populated cities, while walking and driving. Overall a total of 537,780 tests were completed, including 22,082 miles driven and over 750 total places visited. Sadly, this means we don’t get a good picture of rural performance as that isn’t the main focus.<\/p>\n

The study then splits its results into several categories (network reliability, speed, data, call and text quality etc.) and each was assigned a score out of 100 (higher numbers = better). In terms of the UK-wide results, EE<\/a> came top of every single category and their closest rival remains Vodafone<\/a>. Meanwhile O2<\/a> and Three UK<\/a> continue to battle over the bottom two places.<\/p>\n

Overall Scores for H1 2020 (vs H2 2019 Result)<\/strong><\/span>
\n1. EE<\/a> – 95.2 (down from 95.6)
\n2. Vodafone<\/a> – 90 (down from 94.7)
\n3. Three UK<\/a> – 86.5 (down from 89.3)
\n4. O2<\/a> – 85.2 (down from 89.7)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Interestingly Vodafone<\/a>, O2<\/a> and Three UK<\/a> all suffered a big fall in their scores, while EE held relatively stable. Elsewhere Three UK leapt over O2 to take 3rd place. In terms of download speed, EE delivered the strongest showing on 42.6Mbps (up from 36.5Mbps in H2 2019), followed by Vodafone 19Mbps (down from 19.8Mbps), Three UK 14.1Mbps (up from 11.7Mbps) and O2 13.3Mbps (up from 12.5Mbps).<\/p>\n

\"rootmetrics_h1_2020_uk_mobile_network_scores\"<\/p>\n

The study also includes a useful summary of how the new generation of ultrafast 5G based mobile broadband networks have impacted the results. On this front Three UK’s performance is impressive, which is thanks to their 100MHz block of contiguous spectrum (rivals only have a 40-50MHz slice of the 3.4GHz band). However, the reason why this didn’t help Three UK much overall is down to weak coverage (i.e. they were the last to start their full roll-out and that was just as COVID-19 became a problem).<\/p>\n

Summary of 5G Performance by Operator<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

* EE offers broad 5G availability and strong 5G speeds: EE was the only operator with 5G in each of the 16 cities we tested in 1H 2020, and the operator\u2019s 5G coverage was relatively broad, with 5G availability above 21% in 12 markets. EE\u2019s 5G network was also consistently fast, clocking impressive 5G median download speeds of at least 103.9 Mbps in all 16 cities.<\/p>\n

* O2 offers limited 5G availability in four UK cities: We recorded 5G results for O2 in 4 of the 16 cities we tested in 1H 2020, and the operator\u2019s 5G availability was quite low in each market. O2\u2019s highest 5G availability was just 0.6% (in Belfast). In the other three cities in which O2 registered 5G results, we didn\u2019t collect enough test samples to accurately characterise its 5G median download speeds. That said, we expect O2\u2019s 5G network to expand over time.<\/p>\n

* Three shows impressive 5G speeds: We recorded 5G results on Three\u2019s network in 11 out of 16 cities, and the operator recorded very impressive speeds in several markets. Three clocked the fastest 5G median download speed of any operator at 193.7 Mbps in Leicester, while also registering the fastest 5G maximum download speed at 478.1 Mbps in Liverpool. That said, Three\u2019s 5G availability was relatively limited, ranging from 1.0% to 15.4%. As a result, the operator\u2019s 5G speeds haven\u2019t made a notable impact on its speed interval results or to the speeds that Three users will likely experience on an everyday basis.<\/p>\n

* Vodafone\u2019s 5G shows impressive speeds but limited 5G coverage: We recorded 5G results on Vodafone\u2019s network in 10 of the 16 cities we tested, and the operator\u2019s median download speeds were faster than 112 Mbps in 9 of those markets. While Vodafone\u2019s 5G availability was relatively limited, the operator\u2019s performance in London was noteworthy. Keeping in mind that Vodafone\u2019s 5G availability in London was just 5.2%, the operator delivered the fastest 5G median download speed in the city at 181.8 Mbps.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The RootMetrics study also gave a result for each operator’s aggregate median mobile broadband download speed across each of the four UK nations – including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n
