Mobile benchmarking firm RootMetrics<\/a> has today published a new set of H2 2021 results from their testing of 5G<\/a> (mobile broadband) networks in the UK cities of Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool, London and Manchester. Overall, EE<\/a> tended to deliver the strongest availability and performance, but not for all cities.<\/p>\n

The company conducts their studies by harnessing 5G<\/a> Smartphones (e.g. Samsung), which are purchased off the shelf from operator stores. The testing itself is then conducted over a six-month period – during both the day and night – across the locations, while walking and driving around them. Sadly, no data on the testing itself is included to help give context.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> RootMetrics’ prior report on 5G<\/a> performance in Coventry, Leeds and Bradford, Nottingham and Sheffield is HERE<\/a>.<\/div>\n

The data below also reflects their so-called “Everyday 5G<\/strong><\/em>” performance metric, which factors the results recorded on both 5G-only and 5G mixed mode connections. Mixed mode reflects performance from scenarios in which a user switches between 5G and older 4G<\/a> services during the same data task, an experience that\u2019s quite common.<\/p>\n

The map below depicts scores for 5G availability % (i.e. percentage of time spent on 5G), 5G median download speeds (Mbps) and the overall median download speed (4G<\/a> + 5G in Mbps) in the last column on the right. Sadly, we get no figures for either upload speeds or latency times.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, EE<\/a> recorded the best 5G availability in three out of the six cities tested, but they were pipped to the post by Vodafone<\/a> in Liverpool, Bristol and Cardiff. As for 5G speeds, EE<\/a> came top in Manchester, Bristol, London and Cardiff, while O2<\/a> (VMO2) were the fastest in Glasgow and Three UK<\/a> did the same for Liverpool. All but one of the tests delivered download speeds above 100Mbps on 5G.<\/p>\n

\"RootMetrics-H2-2021-5G-UK-City-Map-Report-Two\"<\/p>\n

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":"
