Opensignal<\/a>, which uses crowd-sourced data to benchmark mobile broadband networks across the world, has published an updated comparison of 5G<\/a> performance across Europe and the Middle East (EMEA). The UK scored an average download of 121.4Mbps (13.8Mbps upload), which is roughly half what the top performers deliver.<\/p>\n

The new report is based off data that has been gathered from many hundreds of millions of devices (Android and iOS Smartphones running their App etc.) between 1st February and 1st May 2021. Naturally, there can be some caveats to this sort of information.<\/p>\n

For example, app-based crowd-sourced data could be impacted by any limitations of the devices being used, which at the same time removes the ability to adopt a common type of hardware in order to establish a solid baseline of performance. Nevertheless, Opensignal<\/a> are one of the better outfits at putting such data together.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, we shouldn’t forget that 5G networks in the UK are still in their infancy with limited coverage and, until last month, most operators were primarily using a small slice of the 3.4GHz<\/strong> spectrum band to run their services (excluding any 4G<\/a> spectrum sharing). Ofcom<\/a> has now auctioned off new spectrum in the 700MHz<\/strong> and 3.6-3.8GHz<\/strong> bands (here<\/a>), but operators haven’t yet had enough time to deploy that. The Huawei ban has also delayed some deployments. Other countries have had access to more spectrum for longer.<\/p>\n

The Results<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Overall, two countries – the UAE and Saudi Arabia – had the fastest experience in EMEA with average 5G Download Speed scores of 274.9Mbps and 237.4Mbps, respectively. However, the two fastest operators for 5G upload speeds were Switzerland and Netherlands, which scored 37.3Mbps and 36.2Mbps, respectively. You’ll find the UK near the bottom.<\/p>\n

Opensignal also conducts a different set of benchmarking in order to analyse how well countries do for online multiplayer video gaming (highly latency dependent), video streaming and voice calls. The scores here are measured out of 100 and generally anything above a score of 75 is considered to be “Excellent<\/em>.” Happily, the UK performed a bit better in this table and scored around 80 across all three categories.<\/p>\n

\"opensignal_h1_2021_5g_video_call_gaming_performance_uk\"<\/p>\n

Finally, Opensignal measured 5G network availability (not the same as network coverage), which reflects the percentage of time when end-users are connected to a 5G service. Overall, 5G users continue to spend a minority of time connected to 5G services.<\/p>\n

In Kuwait and Saudi Arabia 5G smartphone users spent approximately one quarter of time connected to 5G. But in much of Europe 5G Availability was considerably lower, with users in the Netherlands seeing 15.3% of time connected to 5G, falling to around 10% in Finland, Switzerland, France, Italy and Poland while our 5G users in the UK and Spain spent just 5.6% and 5.3% of time respectively connected to 5G.<\/p>\n
