Well the upper part is a 5G antenna, but mine are just decorative, they've never been turned on, nor likely to be.So.......... 5G or not? ;-) ;-) ;-)
No idea about yours IJD

Agreed - it seems like there needs to be a bit more clarity in this sort of thing. The RWG website does link to what seems to be a special Nowtel coverage map on EE's website, which shows worse coverage than EE itself (and most of Wales north of Bannau Brycheiniog uncovered) due to the lack of B20: https://coverage.ee.co.uk/coverage/nowtel-paygThere doesn't seem to be any way to confirm which EE MVNOs support B20, and some of the advertising is definitely dodgy if they don't -- for example claims about using EEs network which has the best coverage... :-(
Scancom just told me that there's an error on their website and the SIM I bought doesn't support 5G, so that's a result (and refund). Now to get one that *does* support 5G... ;-)I chatted to them online yesterday and they were unconvinced (blame the router! blame the signal!), but also didn't seem very knowledgeable. So I've just sent support a detailed email with screenshots and maps attached, hopefully this will get to somebody technically savvy... ;-)

Based on my limited experience last year when I had 1P sim for 2 months and my partner was still on EE, I didn't notice any speed or coverage different between 1P and EE it self.Something I would like to know is, of course, is my coverage, signed up directly with EE, actually any better than the coverage would be with an MVNO like 1pMobile??
The deal you on EE is better in someway to £10 1P offering 25GB instead of 10GB, 1P got a few advantages no contract or CPI increases not limited to 100Mbp and got EU roaming.But, I agree, 1pMobile may well have been as good, if not better, and time will tell.
Is if hasn't been more than 14 days you can still cancel without penalty.Just by way of a reminder, I wasn't on an EE PAYG deal, I was originally on the o2 '321' PAYG plan (which is still in use for existing customers but withdrawn for new ones) ..... and then, 6 months ago, swapped to the o2 12 month contract at £6 per month for 4GB data plus calls and texts..............
............. and then called EE and told them I was paying £6 a month to o2 and asked what they could offer - they came back with £9.80 for calls/texts and 25GB (which I 'believe' was a 12 month contract) and I let it rest there for a few days - THEN rang back and was put through to someone else who consulted their manager and came back to me with £9.50 for two years (it would have been more for just one year). To be honest I didn't think too deeply at the time and considered £9.50 to be very reasonable and didn't anticipate wanting or needing to move away from EE as, in my experience over a good few years, none of the other networks have been an improvement either in customer service or in coverage.
