What's clear is that the 5G experience can vary greatly depending on which network a customer is on and where they are in the country. They found that average speeds had increased in Bristol, Leeds and Bradford, Sheffield and London, with Bristol seeing the biggest increase of 21.4Mbps up to an average of 128Mbps. We heard as much from RootMetrics themselves in September 2021 when they shared early data from their 5G report for H2 2021. This data from Ookla who run the service and have recently acquired fellow testing company RootMetrics is the latest indication that 5G services are picking up speed in the UK. The top five devices for testing were all Apple iPhones, comprising almost 60% of the total tests undertaken. The iPhone 12 Pro Max 5G was the most popular choice with over 42,000 devices running tests. However, there were more tests taken on EE and Three than the other two networks:Īll tests are crowdsourced and initiated by mobile users themselves, so Ookla can only work with the data available to them.Īlmost 250,000 unique devices were used to run speed tests during the reporting period. In total, around 864,000 speed tests were conducted during the reporting period. These download speeds are still significantly behind Three's median, although Vodafone had the fastest upload speeds (17.86Mbps) and the lowest latency (29ms) of all networks. Vodafone, EE and O2 were also covered in the Ookla data, with the following median download speeds:
Three were also named as the Fastest 5G network in Q1 - Q2 2021 with average download speeds of 231Mbps. However, the network did experience the highest latency (the time between an action being requested and a device responding to it) at 35ms compared to the industry average of 31ms. They were top in all three focus cities examined by Ookla with speeds of 271.51Mbps in London, 293.27Mbps in Manchester and 268Mbps in Birmingham. Ookla confirmed Three as the Fastest 5G winner in the Speedtest Awards for Q3 - Q4 2021.įrom more than 250,000 speed tests, Three users experienced median speeds of 258.80Mbps and upload speeds of 13.94Mbps.
