In my area all 3 of the joint Vodafone O2 masts that I’m aware of are splitting, O2 have built new 5G masts near by, the Vodafone ones are still on 4G but presumably will be upgraded.
EE and three seem to manage to have joint high capacity 5G masts so I’m not sure why they are splitting.
Agreed.
I used to work for them and the coverage could be amazing but congestion was such a big problem from what I can remember.
Switching between 3G and 4G was always a life saver.
I use Three for 5G Home Boradband and it’s been excellent but my mobile is now on Vodafone as the signal on Three where I work was like a yo-yo at times so ditched it as soon as I could.
Will be ditching Three Broadband when the contract is up as we can now get FTTP 
The UK continuing to slip down the rankings:
44th for mobile speed internet, and 55th for fixed line broadband. I’m sure this was supposed to be a focus of the Boris gov, unusual for him not to deliver on his promises…
I seen this article and didn’t think much of it. Seemed unprofessional write up and lack of actual testing if it’s the one I think of.
O2 has rolled out low bandwidth 700mhz n28 5G which is no better than 800mhz band 20 4G, travels far but very weak in terms of usability unless aggregated with another band such as 32 (in the case of Three).
The priority config in the network doesn’t work well for me when I’ve ample 4G signal band 40, which can give a good 100+ meg, whereas the band n28 5G stretches to 10-40meg on a good day.
This should change when it becomes standalone. Three really shines with 5G (n78). Gig speeds, some places 1.5gig.
We don’t have mmwave here just yet I don’t think. America has it all over the show.
Over the next year or two alsorts will become avail. Android with satellite connectivity is probably most notable as I believe iPhone already has in case of emergencies?
When will the networks start buying into satellite and giving signal that way 
Not only that, but most of the new tariffs are capped at 100 Mb/s, anyway. If you want the benefits of 5G you have to pay for an even more expensive tariff.
What kind of real world day to day difference is there in practice?
If my 13 Pro Max was running a two year older A13 I’d venture I’d probably never notice.
Another cheap option about for anyone on certain benefits
It’s decent value but it’s hardly amazing.
The Mrs” contract expires this month and I’m in the process of moving her to Lebara. £7 for 15GB or a fiver for 5GB.
£12 isn’t bad for unlimited but you’re still overpaying if you don’t need that much.
I’d wager the £8 for 24GB that Smarty also offer is a far better option for most people.
I’ve got 45gb for £10 on Voxi and social media usage doesn’t count towards it. So realistically that is effectively unlimited data for me for £10 a month. Good network in my experience.
i had smarty for my tablet and when visting london a few weeks ago i couldnt get a conection with them moved to voxi and no issues
Managed to get voxi to esim so once they launch 5G locally I’ll hopefully move there.
Not sure if it’s O2 or what but my app notifications seem to either not come through or are very late. No specific app either. It’s annoying.
Voxi supports esim? I’ll be onto that ASAP
It’s not a simple switch.
You gotta order a PAYG Vodafone SIM.
Wait 24 hours after activating.
Head to the vodafone pay monthly SIM to esim swap page.
Then follow the steps.
Once swapped, then move to voxi.
Accessing the account page for voxi can be a chore sometimes but it works eventually through different browser’s - not sure if it’s a fault of voxi or just the esim move.
I’ve had little to no issues lately though to be fair.
Works just as a physical SIM. Was getting some nice 5G (DSS) in York just over a month ago.
You my friend need to create a website with all these hacks & tips
P.s If you can find me a way of getting monzo account do let me know lool
Use your new voxi number to sign up
