There are multiple benefits of 5G technology including more network capacity, lower amounts of latency and faster download speeds. It should give you a more reliable mobile service along with one that’s faster to respond.
As well as choosing a network with 5G coverage, you’ll also need to choose a 5G-ready plan. For more information, see our guide to 5G SIM-only deals.

Frequently Asked Questions
| Which mobile networks offer 5G coverage in the UK? | In the UK, 5G coverage is currently available on the following mobile networks:
|
|---|---|
| Where can I find a 5G coverage map for the UK? | You can see a 5G coverage map for each mobile network by following the relevant link and entering your postcode:
|
| In which towns and cities is 5G coverage available? | 5G coverage is currently available in more than 300 UK towns and cities including Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Coventry, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield and others. See the table here for a list of 5G locations that are live on each network. |
| What are the benefits of 5G coverage? | 5G coverage offers greater network capacity so download speeds are much less likely to slow down in busy or congested areas. It also offers lower latency (~10ms) and faster download speeds that are five to ten times faster than 4G (around 150-200Mbps on today’s 5G networks). |
| How much does it cost to get a 5G price plan? | At present, it’s possible to get a 5G SIM-only deal from as little as £2.90/month. Unlimited data is also available on a range of 5G plans, currently starting from £15/month. |
More Information
If you’d like to get started on a 5G price plan, see our guide to 5G SIM Only deals. Alternatively, you can visit your mobile network’s website for more information about their 5G plans (e.g. see the EE, O2, Three and Vodafone websites).

Paul said:
New Ollerton in Nottinghamshire has 5G with 02, not sure about other networks though
Tee Emm said:
Has the Three 5g Rollout been halted? I live in inner city Birmingham and according to the Three coverage checker, we have been 2 streets awy for the past 16 months!
Ken replied:
Hi there,
No, Three are still continuing with their 5G rollout. It’s possible they haven’t yet launched 5G on the mast that serves your area (sometimes this will be due to planning, access requirements, etc). Alternatively, their coverage map is sometimes a little bit outdated so you might be able to get 5G even where the coverage map says you can’t.
Hope this helps,
Ken
Rhys Haggerwood said:
Hi Ken,
Today EE has confirmed another 35 places including Biggelswade, the small village next to Bedford as well as Milton Keynes the nearest city 30 mins away. I hope this mean Bedford is coming next as that’s just to much teasing for one day

Hi Ken, a managed to find 5G in Bedford on EE. It is a very small area so far though.
Thanks,

Hey Ken just to let you know O2 have turned on more locations for 5G including Bedford.
Ken replied:
Hi Rhys,
Thanks for letting me know about this! As of today, O2 have just announced the launch of 5G in the following locations:
I’m currently working on pulling in the latest coverage information so it should have these new locations in the next few hours 🙂

Ebony Codd said:
Hi, I’m just about to upgrade to a 5G phone but I’m not sure if I have 5G in my area?
I live in Braintree, essex
Ken replied:
Hi Ebony,
Sadly, 5G isn’t available in Braintree at the moment. However, you can still buy a 5G phone & plan and that’ll give you access to 5G as soon as it launches in your area.
Hope this helps,
Ken
Darren said:
Hi Ken,
EE’s coverage checker indicates that 5G is available in Halifax and Sowerby Bridge yet I can’t find anything else published on the web to confirm that it’s live in these two areas.
I do own an EE 5g router and live just within the boundary of the supposed Sowerby Bridge coverage area but I ‘only’ receive 4G+ (which is still pretty rapid).
Is it normal for service providers such as EE to advertise 5g coverage in a given area before the service is actually switched on?
Many thanks
Ken replied:
Hi Darren,
Thanks for your comment. Sometimes, the networks will “soft launch” 5G in a given area before they announce it to the public. For instance, it might just be a couple of 5G-enabled masts but not enough for them to claim that coverage is available as you can only use it in a very limited area. This is normally the reason you see 5G coverage appearing in the maps before it gets announced to the public. It’s likely you’ll see an announcement soon if the map shows coverage is available 🙂
Ken
David Thompson said:
Hi Ken
Thanks for this. Any idea if Giffgaff (which uses O2 networks) are planning to make use of 5g at all, in the foreseeable future? Cheers.
Ken replied:
Hi David,
Thanks for your comment. Sadly, giffgaff haven’t made any announcements on when 5G will launch on their network. They trialled it with a few of their customers last year but I’ve not seen any updates on it since then.
Ken
Ken replied:
Hi David,
Spoke too soon! Giffgaff announced today that 5G will be launching on Tuesday 20th October. They’ll have two plans to start with: 9GB for £10 or unlimited data for £35.

Vodafone offering Gigafast Fibre home broadband 100 – 500 mbps speed in Milton Keynes, please advise, should we take that or wait for 5G home broadband until summer 2020. Thanks
Ken replied:
Hi Roy,
Thanks for your comment. If you’re able to get Gigafast home broadband, I’d personally go for that rather than waiting for 5G home broadband. It’s likely you’ll pay less on a Gigafast connection and speeds should typically be better with no limits on data usage.
Ken
Roy replied:
Hi Ken,
Thanks for your advice.

Hi Ken,
any news on Bedford? When I went to the 5g en-suite and down the checker it said Q1 2020 for three and summer 2020 for o2 in Milton Keynes and surrounding areas.
Ken replied:
Hi Rhys,
Sadly, I’m not aware of 5G coverage being announced for Bedford, though it has been announced for Luton in Bedfordshire (currently scheduled for summer 2020 on O2). Like you said, it has also been announced for Milton Keynes.

Jon Neighbour said:
Only a few select parts of Plymouth are covered by Vodafone 5G – and not the City Centre at all. Was planned to be properly live in September – but still not live despite them selling me a 5G router in July and telling me it was live. Very frustrating!
Hugh Hill said:
I live in zone one London, Edgware Road to be precise which is close walking distance to Baker Street and Oxford Street and still no 5G. Why I even struggle to get just 4G. So, do not tell me that London is covered because it is not, only a very small percentage is under ‘Testing’, which is a far cry from Lond 5G active.
Unless you can guarantee a great connection that will remain solid especially after the 14 day cancelation period (you would be surprised how many connections drop after this period.) stay away from 5G until they have it configured 100% otherwise you may find yourselves tide into crapola contracts for long periods where watching buildings rise and fall will be a lot quicker than your connection speeds.

Brian said:
Hi Ken – If you look at some of the coverage maps (EE in London) it looks like almost the entire Zone 2 London is covered with some small gaps. Do you think this coverage is actually real? I haven’t read any updated articles on actually using a 5G phone since the launch back in May. Thoughts?
Ken replied:
Hi Brian,
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, I haven’t actually tested this out for myself on EE in Zone 2, so it’s difficult for me to comment on the completeness of coverage. My understanding, however, is that EE does have more comprehensive 5G coverage than other networks in the cities they currently serve.

Just to let you know EE has 5G in Rochdale/Littleborough now. Also coming to Bury before the end of this year
Buggerlugs said:
Could the carriers utilise the 5g bandwidth to effectively increase the LTE bandwidth available on their existing masts?
Ken replied:
Hi Buggerlugs,
Thanks for your comment. Yes, the new frequency is being used to deploy 5G-NR technology, which is spectrally much more efficient than 4G-LTE. Therefore, the total amount of bandwidth should dramatically increase on the networks (which will also benefit 4G users, as some usage migrates over to 5G). Eventually, I imagine we’ll see some 4G spectrum being “upgraded” or “converted” to 5G, which will give a further increase in capacity as well – albeit, I imagine it’ll probably be about half a decade before that starts to happen.
Hope this helps,
Ken

Veronique Almaraz said:
Hi i have been reading about 5g and how harmful it is!!!!! There is a lot of science to prove the theory of how bad 5g is to all living things. Do you agree ? Please just do not say its safe i need prove it is and explain why other scientist and tecs say its harmful. I have seen many videos and articles about how harmful 5g is…would love for Ken to comment since he is a graduate from Imperial college and would know . Hopefully he gets back to us. As i am a concern parent for my boys.
Ken replied:
Hi Veronique,
There’s a lot of misinformation out there on potential health risks of 5G, and I definitely don’t think there’s anything you need to worry about here 🙂 Firstly, 5G is just a new technical standard that your mobile phone can use to communicate with the networks. Like other types of networks, it’s a radio-based technology (just like Wi-Fi, 2G, 3G, 4G, FM radio, TV, Bluetooth, etc). Currently, 5G mobile networks use radio waves around 3.4-3.6GHz. This sits in the middle of two frequencies that have been used for Wi-Fi for many years (2.4GHz and 5GHz). It’s non-ionising radiation with low energy (and certainly far too little to interfere with cells).

Hi Muhammad,
Thanks for your comment. The best way to check this is by using the relevant coverage checker for your network. Just tap on the relevant “check coverage” link for your mobile network here. You’ll be able to enter your postcode, to see if 5G coverage is available where you live.
