Mobile benchmarking firm RootMetrics<\/a> has today published a new report that examines the mobile broadband download speeds and availability of 5G<\/a> networks across EE<\/a>, O2<\/a>, Vodafone<\/a> and Three UK<\/a> in four recently tested cities during the first half of 2021 – Birmingham, Bristol, Coventry, and London.<\/p>\n

The company typically uses a team of testers to both walk and drive around each city while running tests via a set of regular Samsung Note 10+ 5G<\/a><\/strong> Smartphones. We don’t quite know why RootMetrics opted to test these four specific cities (Vodafone<\/a> didn’t even seem to be live in Coventry), but we would have preferred to see a study that examined performance across the main capitals of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland instead.<\/p>\n

The new report also introduces a new “Everyday 5G<\/a><\/em>” methodology to how they present their results. Essentially, instead of showing results recorded entirely on 5G-only technology, the new approach will now consider both 5G-only results and “Everyday 5G<\/em>” performance metrics, which factor in results recorded on both 5G-only and 5G mixed mode.<\/p>\n

Personally, we think this is just going to cause some extra confusion, and it’s often better to keep such things simple. Speaking of which, 5G-only in this context is NOT related to Standalone 5G (SA) technology, which is a whole different consideration.<\/p>\n

What’s the difference between 5G-only, 5G mixed mode, and Everyday 5G?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

5G-only<\/strong> results show what 5G can deliver when connected entirely to 5G, providing a look at what 5G performance would be like if it were ubiquitous today.<\/p>\n

5G mixed<\/strong> mode results show performance in scenarios in which a user switches between 5G and 4G<\/a> LTE during the same data task, an experience that is becoming more and more common.<\/p>\n

Everyday 5G<\/strong> results combine results recorded on 5G-only with those on 5G mixed mode, showing how the networks perform when connected to 5G for any amount of time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Overall, EE<\/a> registered the highest Everyday 5G availability in three cities and the fastest Everyday 5G median download speed in three cities (including a tie with O2<\/a> in Birmingham). Meanwhile, Three UK<\/a> seemed to struggle for Everyday 5G download speed, although they had good 5G availability in most of the cities tested.<\/p>\n

The fastest 5G-only speed was recorded by O2<\/a> in Birmingham (193Mbps) and the only operator to drop below the 100Mbps+ level was Three UK<\/a> in Bristol (78.4Mbps), although we aren’t including the fact that Vodafone<\/a> didn’t have a score for anything in Coventry.<\/p>\n

We should point out that Mobile Broadband speeds remain incredibly difficult to pin down due to the highly variable nature of the technology. Users of such services are always moving through different areas (indoor, outdoor, underground etc.), using different devices with different capabilities and the surrounding environment (weather, trees, buildings etc.) is ever changeable.<\/p>\n

On top of that different operators may have different levels of coverage, technologies, backhaul capacity for cell sites and spectrum bands. All of this can impact the service you receive and will vary from location to location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
