New data from mobile benchmarking firm Opensignal<\/a> has looked at the mobile broadband network experience in rural and urban areas of the United Kingdom on 4G<\/a> and 5G<\/a> based networks, which naturally finds that rural areas suffer slower speeds. But the performance gap on 5G<\/a> isn’t as big as we expected.<\/p>\n

The new report is based on crowdsourced data, which was gathered from users on hundreds of thousands of devices (Smartphones etc.) between 1st May to 29th July 2022. Opensignal<\/a> has a popular app that is used to collect a lot of this data.<\/p>\n

The report finds that users in Italy experienced average overall download speeds clocking at 27.9Mbps in rural areas, which is some 2.7Mbps (8.8%) slower than users in urban areas. Italy saw the smallest relative gap between urban and rural areas in the small number of markets they analysed, significantly lower compared to other markets – as it ranged from 23.4% in Spain to 29.4% in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the UK, the average mobile download speed across all connections (3G<\/a>, 4G<\/a> and 5G<\/a>) was 31.4Mbps in urban areas and just 22.1Mbps in rural ones. However, when looking purely at 5G speeds, it’s noted that the UK delivered an average download speed in urban areas of 139.6Mbps, which fell only a little bit to 124Mbps in rural locations.<\/p>\n

\"Opensignal-UK-Rural-vs-Urban-Mobile-Broadband-Speeds-2022\"<\/p>\n

The reason for the performance gap often reflects the fact that rural deployments tend to cover wider areas and thus make greater use of lower frequency bands (i.e. less spectrum frequency spare for data and weaker signals over distance), which even when harnessing carrier aggregation can’t always match the combined performance of higher frequency bands in a denser urban deployment of mobile sites.<\/p>\n

The catch in all this is that the vast majority of 5G deployments in the UK are currently in urban and not rural areas, which is likely to limit the usefulness of such studies. We’d need to see a wider reach of rural 5G and more data sampling before the true picture can emerge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
