All the UK networks have opted for the drip-drip approach of covering main areas of major cities first, then covering suburbs next. As we mentioned, this is all using mid-band (sub-6Ghz) 5G .
Read moreWhat band does EE use?
Network Frequencies EE uses the 800MHz frequency, 1800MHz frequency, 2100MHz and 2600MHz frequency for 4G. The 800MHz frequency is long range, making it good for rural locations, but it can also penetrate walls, for strong indoor coverage.

To check if your Android phone supports the 5g network, you need to open the ‘Settings’ app on your phone and further tap the option ‘Wi-Fi & Network’. Now, tap on the option ‘SIM & Network’ and there you will be able to see a list of all technologies under the ‘Preferred network type’ option.

Read moreWhat band does EE use for 5G?
EE Frequencies and Bands EE operates 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G radio access technologies on a range of bands. 2G uses 1800MHz (Band 3), 3G 2100MHz (Band 1), 4G 800MHz (Band 20), 1800MHz (Band 3), 2100MHz (Band 1), 2600MHz (Band 7) while 5G is on 3500MHz (NR Band 78) .
Read moreIs there mmWave 5G?
5G high bands (mmWave, also referred to as FR2) are found in the range of 24GHz to 40GHz . They deliver large quantities of spectrum and capacity over the shortest distances. They also use massive MIMO to expand capacity and extend coverage.
Read moreWhat type of 5G does the UK use?
All four of the UK’s core networks – EE, O2, Vodafone and Three – offer 5G . Other networks are known as Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) and piggyback off the back of one of the core networks. So far MVNOs BT (EE), VOXI (Vodafone), Tesco Mobile (O2) and Sky Mobile (O2) have launched a 5G service.
