Crowd-sourced analyst firm Opensignal<\/a> has today published new benchmarks of 5G<\/a> based mobile broadband networks across 12 countries, which finds that the United Kingdom returns reasonable average download speeds of 133.5Mbps (vs 25.9Mbps on 4G<\/a>). But we have the weakest level of network availability (4.5%).<\/p>\n

The latest study is based on data collected between 16th May and 14th August 2020. As usual there are some caveats to this sort of information because crowd-sourced data (collected from an app) can still be impacted by any limitations of the devices being used and where the test has taken place, which at the same time removes the ability to adopt a common type of hardware (necessary to help establish a solid baseline of performance).<\/p>\n

Despite this Opensignal<\/a> normally does a fairly good job, although it’s worth noting that deployments in the United Kingdom are currently being hobbled by the lack of access to additional spectrum (most operators only have a small 40-50MHz slice of the 3.4GHz<\/strong> radio spectrum band), weak coverage and the recent decision to ban Huawei. On top of that the COVID-19<\/strong> lockdown did little to help the deployment pace.<\/p>\n

In short, 5G<\/a> network coverage and performance across the UK hasn’t really changed all that much since the last Opensignal<\/a> report in May 2020 (here<\/a>) and most countries still do better than us. Admittedly not many countries have actually begun their commercial 5G<\/a> deployments, so at least we’re out of the starting block.<\/p>\n

Otherwise Saudi Arabia remains in first place on a staggering 5G download speed of 414.2Mbps (average) and availability of 34.4%, while South Korea jumps to second place with 312.7Mbps but their availability is weaker at 20.7% (below Hong Kong, Kuwait and of course Saudi Arabia).<\/p>\n

\"opensignal_q3_2020_5g_mobile_speeds_and_availability\"<\/p>\n

Ofcom<\/a> is currently expected to auction off some additional 5G friendly radio spectrum bands – 700MHz<\/strong> and 3.6-3.8GHz<\/strong> – in January 2021 (here<\/a>), which should help to provide additional capacity for even faster mobile broadband speeds. Nevertheless, we’ll also be hoping to see an improvement in UK network coverage, which could be difficult for operators that were previously setup to work with Huawei.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
