Ofcom<\/a> has published its 2023 Mobile Matters report, which uses Opensignal<\/a>’s crowdsourced data (collected between 1st October 2022 and 31st March 2023) to benchmark the performance of UK mobile data (mobile broadband) networks by both technology (3G<\/a>, 4G and 5G) and operator choice – including Three UK<\/a>, O2<\/a>, Vodafone<\/a> and EE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The results hold few surprises, but they do still reveal some interesting details. For example, most cellular network use (88%) is still over 4G, but when people need to use 5G \u2013 where there is coverage \u2013 they are more likely to be able to connect (98.4% success rate) than 4G (97.8%) or 3G<\/a> (91.3%). Elsewhere, mobile users spend an average of 62.3% of their time using Wi-Fi instead of mobile data.<\/p>\n

On average, 5G users spent 10.1% of their time connected to a 5G network, which reflects the fact that 5G users were connected to a 4G network for most of the time (84.3%), with a further 4.2% of their time being spent on 3G and 0.6% on 2G (for 0.8% of the time 5G users were without a cellular connection).<\/p>\n

Mobile download speeds were also the fastest over 5G, averaging 129.9Mbps in the period, which compares to averages of 29.5Mbps over 4G and 5.9Mbps on ancient 3G connections. But average upload speeds over 5G (14.7Mbps) were only twice those over 4G (7.6Mbps), while 3G upload speeds averaged just 2Mbps – this is largely because 5G upstream is still being hobbled by some 4G based infrastructure.<\/p>\n

As for the mobile network operators – Three UK<\/a> delivered the fastest average 5G download speed, while O2<\/a> were the slowest and EE<\/a>’s average was faster than Vodafone<\/a>’s. O2 also had the slowest average 4G downloads, at 18.8Mbps, less than half the 44.1Mbps average recorded by EE (they had the fastest 4G download speed among the MNOs). EE and Three had the joint-fastest average 3G downloads and O2 and Vodafone the joint-slowest<\/p>\n

\"Ofcom-UK-Mobile-Broadband-Speeds-by-MNO-2023\"<\/p>\n

We’ve summarised some of the report’s other findings below.<\/p>\n

Ofcom’s Mobile Matters 2023 Results<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Network share<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Most cellular network use was over 4G. Mobile users were connected to a 4G network for an average of 88% of the time and were without any cellular connection for around 1% of the time.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Mobile users spent an average of 6% of the time connected to 3G. As mobile network providers prepare for 3G switch off, they will need to ensure broadly the same 4G coverage as 3G and support mobile users who need an updated handset in order to minimise disruption.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Time spent on 5G was comparatively low. With the technology used in most current UK 5G deployments (5G non-standalone), devices only connect to 5G when a data connection is needed. As a result, mobile users were connected to 5G for an average of just 4% of the time (10% among 5G users).<\/p>\n

\u2022 Wi-Fi continues to be a fundamental part of the consumer experience. Mobile users spent an average of 62% of their time connected to Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n

Comparison of cellular technologies<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Cellular network data connection success rates were highest on 5G. Looking at connection success rates when someone was actively using their phone in a coverage area, 5G data connections succeeded 98.4% of the time, compared to 97.8% for 4G and 91.3% for 3G.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Download times for 2MB files were much shorter over 5G and 4G than 3G. On average, it took around twice as long to download a 2MB file on a 4G network than on a 5G network (0.8s vs 0.4s) and 2MB file download times on 3G (3.6s) were more than four-times longer than those over 4G.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The benefit of 5G over 4G was more apparent with larger file downloads. A 5MB download over 5G was, on average, 56% shorter than over 4G. This compared to average 5G 2MB download times being 46% shorter than those over 4G.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Upload times for 1MB files were shortest on 5G networks. Looking at the experience of uploading files, the average time to upload a 1MB file was shortest over 5G (0.7s) and longest on 3G (3.6s).<\/p>\n

\u2022 Download speeds were more than four times higher on 5G than on 4G. We also analysed download speeds measured using tests that consume as much data as the connection can download over the duration of the test. These showed that download speeds were fastest over 5G, averaging 129.9 Mbit\/s compared to 29.5 Mbit\/s over 4G and 5.9 Mbit\/s on 3G.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Average upload speeds over 5G were almost twice those recorded on 4G networks. 5G upload speeds averaged 14.7 Mbit\/s, compared to 7.6 Mbit\/s over 4G and 2.0 Mbit\/s on 3G.<\/p>\n

MNO comparisons<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 EE customers spent the highest proportion of their time connected to 4G. The proportion of time that mobile users spent connected to 4G ranged from 84% for O2 customers to 91% for EE customers. O2 customers spent the highest proportion of their time connected to Wi-Fi (67%).<\/p>\n

\u2022 There were no differences in average 5G and 4G data connection success rates by MNO. However, EE and Three customers had the highest average 3G connection success rates and O2 3G data connections were less likely to succeed than those of the other MNOs.<\/p>\n

\u2022 O2 customers had the longest average file download times. The time taken to download a 2MB or 5MB file on O2 was longer than the other MNOs\u2019 download times for 5G, 4G and 3G.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The average response time was significantly better on EE than the other MNOs\u2019 networks. EE\u2019s average response times (latency) were the fastest among the MNOs for all cellular technologies (18ms on 5G and 4G, and 29ms on 3G). O2 had the slowest 5G and 3G response times (22ms and 47ms respectively) and Vodafone the slowest 4G response time (24ms).<\/p>\n

\u2022 O2 customers experienced the slowest average download speeds over 5G and 4G networks (74Mbit\/s and 19Mbit\/s respectively). O2 was also joint-slowest with Vodafone for 3G download speeds (5Mbit\/s). Three had the fastest average 5G download speed (235Mbit\/s) and EE was quickest over 4G (44Mbit\/s), and EE and Three had the joint-fastest average 3G download speeds (7Mbit\/s).<\/p>\n

\u2022 EE customers had the fastest average 4G and 3G upload speeds (9Mbit\/s and 3Mbit\/s respectively) and were joint-fastest with Three for 5G (17Mbit\/s). O2 customers experienced the slowest 5G and 4G upload speeds (10Mbit\/s and 5Mbit\/s respectively) and Three was slowest over 3G (2Mbit\/s).<\/p>\n

Comparisons by nation\/rurality<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 People in Northern Ireland spent the highest proportion of time connected to Wi-Fi. The proportion of time that people spent connected to a Wi-Fi network was 66% in Northern Ireland, compared to 62% in each of the other nations.<\/p>\n

\u2022 There were no differences in 5G and 4G data connection success rates by nation and rurality. However, the average 3G connection success rate was higher in urban areas than in rural ones and lower in Wales than in the other UK nations.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Variations in 5G and 4G 2MB file download times by nation and rurality were only small. The differences were more marked for 3G, with Scotland having the shortest time to download a 2MB file and Northern Ireland and Wales the longest times.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Wales had the fastest average 5G download speed and England the quickest 4G download speed. There were no significant differences between 3G download speeds across the UK nations.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Northern Ireland had the slowest average 5G upload speed and was joint-slowest with Wales for 4G. England had the fastest average upload speed over 4G and there were no differences in 3G upload speeds across the UK nations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
