Does giffgaff have 5G?

Giffgaff launched its 5G service on October 20, 2020 , which is almost exactly a year after O2 did, and while it has 5G coverage in a lot of places, you should be aware that this coverage is often patchy – but that’s the case with every network at the moment.

If you’re thinking of shifting to 5G, Giffgaff is getting better all the time . O2 registered three of the five fastest Everyday 5G median download speeds in RootMetrics’ latest tests, with speeds of 163.3Mbits/sec to 179.3Mbits/sec in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Leicester.
