What is 5G?
5G is fast. Faster than anything you've seen before, with bigger capacity and more connections – even in the busiest of places.
With superfast speeds, quicker downloads and better quality streaming, you can access the content you love on the go.
Plus, with 5G connectivity in all major cities, you can stream videos at higher resolution, enjoy better quality video calls and download films in seconds.
Why 5G on EE
We've been awarded the UK's best network for nine and a half years in a row.
Why we've got the UK's best network
The fastest overall network in the UK
We have the fastest overall median download speeds in the UK, according to RootMetrics’ testing conducted during the second half of 2022.
We have the fastest average download speeds in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and recorded the fastest median UK-wide speeds of 58.5 Mbps.
That’s more than twice as fast as any other UK network. With the fastest overall speeds on EE (4G and 5G combined), you’ll download content quicker and get the best quality video.
