The latest data from Ookla, which operates the popular Speedtest.net<\/a> internet connection benchmarking service, has revealed that the United Kingdom now places near the bottom of the table of 5G capable countries for mobile broadband speeds and availability.<\/p>\n

The latest benchmark, which examined 5G mobile performance between 1st May and 29th July 2023, reveals that Puerto Rico scored the highest for 5G availability at 49.2% (i.e. the amount of time 5G users spent actually connected via 5G). By comparison, the UK scored just 10.9% and sat in the bottom third of the table, while Indonesia came last on 0.9%. But this is particularly bad considering that the UK was an early 5G adopter.<\/p>\n

The situation is even worse for average 5G download speeds, where South Korea retains the top spot on 427.1Mbps and the slowest country is Peru on 49.1Mbps. By comparison, the UK scored just 118.6Mbps – placing us in the last quarter of the table, although this still marks a 4.2x times performance improvement over older 4G<\/a> networks.<\/p>\n

In terms of upload speeds, South Korea tops that table too with an average of 43.6Mbps, while the slowest country is the Philippines on 11.7Mbps. But the UK is only three places above the Philippines and sitting on just 14.3Mbps, which largely reflects the fact that our 5G networks are still partly reliant upon older 4G<\/a> infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Overall, it’s a poor showing from the United Kingdom, which was impacted by the government’s earlier ban of Huawei’s kit (this delayed the rollout). But there is hope for the future, with the adoption of pure end-to-end (Standalone) 5G networks being expected to boost performance. Not to mention that Ofcom<\/a> are preparing to release a large chunk of millimetre wave (mmWave) spectrum across the 26GHz and 40GHz bands for use by ultrafast 5G services in the near future (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n
