Over the next few years it should become even faster, as the technology matures. It will be much faster, with download speeds 5-10 times quicker than 4G to start with, meaning a movie will download in seconds rather than minutes. On-the-street speeds of 200-300Mbps were the norm in the lunchtime rush, with peaks of 500Mbps or more at less congested times, which is genuinely faster than my home broadband.ĥG is the next generation mobile phone network and it promises much higher connection speeds, lower latency (response times) and to be more reliable than the creaking 4G networks we have now. On foot in 5G areas such as St Paul’s or Covent Garden, it was clear that speeds were much more transformative. A similar experience was had outside Victoria and several other central London stations. At Elephant and Castle in the morning rush hour I got full 5G signal, but only speeds of about 3Mbps – still double the 1.5Mbps 4G could produce at the same time.Ī few hundred metres down the tracks stuck outside Blackfriars, speeds in excess of 120Mbps were routine, with 4G capping out at less than 30Mbps. That meant speeds varied wildly as I trundled through patches of 5G on the train. Day to day in the most congested parts of London, it was at least double the speed of EE’s 4G, sometimes up to 10 times faster. Pauls were some of the highest in London.
