Benchmarking firm Opensignal<\/a>, which specialises in testing the performance of mobile networks, has published new research that reveals how the UK compares with the rest of the world for 5G<\/a> based mobile broadband speeds (downloads and uploads) and availability. Suffice to say, we sit at the wrong end of the table.<\/p>\n

The new research is based off crowdsourced data gathered from users on millions of devices (Smartphones etc.) between 1st March and 29th May 2023. Overall, the United Kingdom was found to deliver 5G availability (i.e. % of time spent on 5G) of just 10.1%, with average download speeds of 124.4Mbps, average peak download speeds of 501.3Mbps and average uploads of 14.7Mbps.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Uploads speeds on 5G networks in the UK will be weaker as they’re still partly dependent upon 4G<\/a> services, at least until end-to-end Standalone 5G (SA) networks become more common.<\/div>\n

By comparison, South Korea and Puerto Rico lead in worldwide 5G Availability, with 5G users in these markets approaching half of time spent with an active 5G connection on scores of 42.9% and 48.4% respectively. South Korea and Singapore also topped the table for average 5G download speeds, scoring 432.5Mbps and 376.8Mbps respectively.<\/p>\n

As for average peak 5G download speeds, Bahrain came top on a staggering 1163.4Mbps, and they were followed by South Korea on 925.6Mbps. Finally, South Korea also came top for average 5G upload speeds on 42Mbps, and they were followed by Guatemala with 42Mbps.<\/p>\n

\"Opensignal-UK-5G-Speeds-vs-the-World-May-2023\"<\/p>\n

Overall, the UK failed to place higher than the slowest third in any of the tables, which is disappointing given that we were one of the first countries to start rolling the technology out. But the UK Government’s decision to ban Huawei after the rollout had begun, which at the time had some of the best kit, did play a role here.<\/p>\n

Equally, the regulators in other countries have often made more radio spectrum available to 5G than the UK. For example, Ofcom<\/a> has yet to release any mmWave bands (e.g. 24-26GHz) for operators to harness, although it\u2019s admittedly unclear how much demand there might be for this. Such bands are much more expensive to deploy, due in part to the need for a denser network to counteract the coverage limitations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
