But despite this, overall data speeds (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> + <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a>) have increased.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The latest study looked at speed testing data gathered between Q2 2022 and Q2 2023, which found that, overall, users in 10 out of 12 of the UK&#8217;s regions have seen a mild increase in their Download Speed across all mobile broadband types (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a>) combined &#8211; ranging from +23.4% in the North East to a low of +3.9% in the Yorkshire &amp; Humberside region. The exceptions were the South West and N.Ireland, where the changes were too small to be noteworthy.<\/p>\n<p>However, when the study looked at the average 5G download speeds seen by users, there were statistically significant declines in 9 out of 12 regions. Of these, three regions see declines of more than 20% \u2014 Northern Ireland (21.6%), East Midlands (21%) and the South East (20.7%) \u2014 while Yorkshire and Humber is not far behind with a fall in speeds of 17.8%.<\/p>\n<p>Such declines are usually due to the combination of network maturity and rising consumer take-up, which over time tends to put pressure on capacity (i.e. network congestion). But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>&#8217;s future plans to release more 5G spectrum (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2023\/03\/ofcom-uk-to-open-26ghz-and-40ghz-bands-for-faster-5g-mobile.html\">here<\/a>) and the evolution of 5G technology itself (e.g. Standalone 5G) should bring future improvements.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" style=\"padding: 0px; width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2023-uk-internet-statistics\/Ookla-5G-Speeds-by-UK-Region-Q2-2022-to-2023.png\" alt=\"Ookla-5G-Speeds-by-UK-Region-Q2-2022-to-2023\"><\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Ookla also observed a broad increase in the proportion of time users spent with an active <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> or 5G connection (Time on 4G\/5G), which is hardly surprising given recent improvements in coverage and the gradual sunset of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/3g\">3G<\/a> and, eventually, 2G mobile services. The most impressive Year-on-Year increase was seen in Wales with a rise of 4.5 percentage points, while the smallest increase was seen in Yorkshire &amp; Humber at 2.4 percentage points.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, if we split this down to network operator level, then &#8216;Time on 4G\/5G&#8217; at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a> is now 97.2% (up from 95.5% in January 2022), while at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/threeuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Three UK<\/a> it&#8217;s 94% (up sharply from 85.2% &#8211; the largest single increase of any operator), on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a> it&#8217;s 93.2% (up from 88.2%) and last comes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/o2uk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">O2<\/a> (VMO2) on 90.1% (up from 86.8%).<\/p>\n<p>The amount of time 5G users spend with an active 5G connection is also on the rise. Over the last year, Ookla&#8217;s users in London saw the largest increase in 5G Availability with a rise of four percentage points, followed by the East Midlands and Eastern with improvements of 3.2 and 3 percentage points, respectively. Similarly, Wales saw a rise of 2 percentage points. However, users in Scotland did not observe a statistically significant increase in their score.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" style=\"padding: 0px; width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2023-uk-internet-statistics\/Ookla-5G-Availability-by-UK-Region-Q2-2022-to-2023.png\" alt=\"Ookla-5G-Availability-by-UK-Region-Q2-2022-to-2023\"><\/p>\n<p>As stated earlier, the increases in 5G Availability may help to explain the decline in 5G download speeds, as more users are vying for the same data and spectrum capacity than before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Internet benchmarking firm Ookla, which operates the popular broadband and mobile network performance testing service Speedtest.net, has revealed that 5G based mobile broadband download speeds have fallen across most regions of the UK over the past year.
