Mid-Band 5G Spectrum Allows U.K. Speeds 4X to 6.7X Faster than 4G, It Appears

Mid-band spectrum is touted for 5G as it offers better coverage than millimeter wave spectrum but higher bandwidth than low band frequencies. The latest Speedtest data on U.K. 5G show the results. Compared to “typical” speeds on all other U.K. mobile networks taken as a whole, 5G provides downstream speeds about 450 percent to 618 percent faster, according to Speedtest. 

Keep in mind: this does not mean 5G is that much faster than 4G. 5G is that much faster than the average of downstream data on all other networks in use. On the other hand, 5G arguably is just about that much faster than 4G


On EE, it is conceivable that 5G is about 400 percent faster than 4G. On 02, 5G might be 760 percent faster than 4G.
