Mobile operator Three UK<\/a> has today revealed that their 5G based (mobile broadband) network is now live across busy parts of some 193 UK towns and cities (equating to 1,250 cell sites and masts). On top of that they’re still boosting 4G<\/a> speeds by extending the reach of their L-Band (1.4GHz) spectrum.<\/p>\n

Technically speaking the operator’s new 5G network first started to go live in August 2019, although their availability was initially restricted to central London and the only way to use it was via their dedicated unlimited Three Broadband<\/strong><\/a> service. The network finally began to include regular 5G mobile (Smartphone) services in February 2020 (here<\/a>) and they’ve been busy deploying ever since.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Going LIVE with 5G is not the same as achieving total coverage of an area and it can still take many months, or even years, to fully cover a city etc.<\/div>\n

The operator currently retains one key 5G advantage over their rivals in that they can harness a total of about 140MHz<\/strong> (frequency) across several related radio spectrum bands. One of those includes a 100MHz block of contiguous spectrum in the 3.4-3.8GHz<\/strong> band (here<\/a>), which is known to be the sweet spot for 5G speeds.<\/p>\n

By comparison their rivals are currently only harnessing a smaller slice of the 3.4GHz band (40-50MHz each), but this doesn’t consider the limited use of dynamic spectrum sharing with existing 4G<\/a> services. Ofcom<\/a>’s imminent auction of more radio spectrum in the 700MHz<\/strong> and 3.6-3.8GHz<\/strong> bands may well help to balance all of this out between the operators.<\/p>\n

As a result Three UK<\/a> claims that their 5-year upgrade programme will “deliver the UK\u2019s fastest 5G network<\/em>,” with Ookla showing that they returned median download speeds in excess of 200Mbps<\/strong> during Q3 2020 (results summary<\/a>). But this has to be weighed against the fact that they don’t have the strongest 5G availability in the UK (that honour goes to EE<\/a>) and many of their new coverage locations only have a tiny bit of 5G coverage.<\/p>\n

Susan Buttsworth, COO of Three UK, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We have made solid progress at the start of 2021 and are meeting our goal to deliver better connectivity, every day, for every customer. Our 5G roll out has made excellent progress with 1250 sites across 193 towns and cities and we\u2019ve made strong improvements to boost the 4G experience for our customers, which has never been more vital with virtual working and home schooling.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The “boost<\/em>” to 4G mentioned above largely reflects their rollout of a 20MHz (spectrum) slice of the 1.4GHz L-Band<\/strong><\/a> (1452-1492MHz), which has now been added to 1,500 of their UK cell\/mast sites; it’s claimed this “will increase download speeds by up to 3 times<\/em>,” but that’s only true if you have a device that can actually harness it (Three UK says 4 million of their customers can). More sites will go live during 2021.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> L-Band device examples include the iPhone 11 and 12, Google Pixel range, Samsung\u2019s S8, S9, S9, S10 S20, S21; as well as recent OnePlus and Oppo devices.<\/div>\n

The operator also reports that they’ve upgraded the backhaul capacity across more of their network. A 10Gbps backhaul link has now been added to more than 3,200 sites to help boost their 4G and 5G speeds. All of this work reflects Three UK’s \u00a32bn<\/strong> investment programme to upgrade their national network. Hundreds more 5G sites are also expected to come online before the end of 2021.<\/p>\n

However, it hasn\u2019t all been smooth sailing for Three, which originally put all of their 5G eggs in one basket with Huawei<\/strong> and has since had to change that plan (e.g. the new supplier deal with Ericsson<\/strong>). This follows some significant Government flip-flopping over whether or not to ban the Chinese supplier (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Finally, the operator noted that “for the first time in the company\u2019s history<\/em>,” the average data usage, per customer, per month has surpassed 17GB (GigaBytes); driven by customers spending more time at home during the UK’s third lockdown in January 2021. Customer usage has grown in the last year with average data usage, per customer, per month, increasing by 53%. Network demand peaked on 28th January due to streaming of the Tottenham vs Liverpool premier league match. In the last year, peak demand has increased by 37%.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, all of Three’s new and existing customers will have access to 5G with “no speed caps and at no extra cost<\/em>” on all contract, SIM only and PAYG mobile plans.<\/p>\n
