Smarty are 5G compatible, certainly in my area, it seems some areas are active and others aren’t. My sim connects to my local Three mast.I think Smarty are 4g only at the moment. FYI

Three have more places 5G than anyone, and that was in May.Only just realised today that 3 have the most coverage in my home city of Hull. I've never ever considered them. Maybe I should going forward. Especially at the rate they're banging planning applications in haha
Three UK did best in Hull (51.5%)
Study Benchmarks the Best UK Mobile Networks for H1 2021

I think three for me is one to keep an eye on depending on how quick they can deploy new masts.Three have more places 5G than anyone, and that was in May.
Defo the plus with 4/5G, you can just if you need pop to another network shop and grab a unlimited sim, Voda & Three backup payg sims in my drawer from having o2 5G last year as they both have Unlimited payg incase I ever needed it.My experience of Three broadband on 4G has been positive too. We've been with them for nearly two years, despite living opposite the telephone exchange (long story - we bought a house and lived in a caravan on the drive while we gutted the place, so a phone line would have been awkward).
Things got a bit rocky while they were doing a network upgrade early last year, but we were only without a service for one day (plus the big Three meltdown of a couple of years ago). In the last six months speeds have roughly doubled from what we had two years ago - we occasionally see 100Mb/s, routinely 70-90Mb/s even in the evenings.
We're coming up to the end of our Three contract, and now we're in the house I was expecting to go for FTTC at this point (no fibre here). Given that our 4G speeds are comparable with the best we're likely to see from FTTC even with the cabinet just over the road, though, I don't see the point in switching. We're paying £21 pm, and if things do go wrong I can drop in a EE SIM and carry on - can't do that with a telephone line!
Defo, best spectrum & rolling out leaving EE 5G rollout gathering dust, head office are still overly concerned with broadband by wire you see LolI think three for me is one to keep an eye on depending on how quick they can deploy new masts.
I believe so, yes.Was on a walk today and noticed band 32 coverage in the area with new antennas on the mast, are these 5g?
Nice, although it doesnt appear to be live yet, and in the town centre where i live, im back on a band 3 only mast.I believe so, yes.
Hopefully won't be long!Nice, although it doesnt appear to be live yet, and in the town centre where i live, im back on a band 3 only mast.
Yeah! although it probably wont cover me, since the band 3 mast is much closer.Hopefully won't be long!
