Why is UK 5G so bad? We investigated - Which?

Full bars. 5G icon. Still buffering. Why is mobile data so bad in the UK? In this episode of Which? Investigates, Kat Cereda finds out why the UK ranks last in the G7 for mobile network performance, and why your phone might be lying to you. We put the signal to the test live on a moving train and ask why other countries get faster speeds and better value. Plus, why you’re paying for speeds you might not be getting. We speak to Which? journalist Adam Snook, research analyst Bart Smallman and Steve Cray, whose company builds and manages the sites mobile networks rely on. Together they reveal why your 5G icon can’t be trusted, what other countries are doing that we’re not, and what could happen to the UK by 2030 if nothing changes. So what’s being done to fix it, and how can you find out which network really performs where you live and work? 📍 Check how reliable each network is in your postcode with our mobile coverage map, built with Opensignal: https://ift.tt/8oUALl1 In our survey, 39% of people had coverage dropouts this year, and 37% said their data was consistently slow.
