POWERFUL 5G ON EE

5G works in the same way as existing mobile networks. You can connect to a 5G network via a 5G-enabled device.

5G brings many benefits, including download speeds and capacity. You can expect average 5G speeds of over 100Mbps and download films in just a few minutes instead of 15 minutes on 4G.

Whether you’re opening apps and web pages or playing the latest high-resolution game on your phone, everything will feel super-quick. What’s more, a near-instant connection opens up possibilities for exciting new augmented and virtual reality experiences on your smartphone.

5G doesn't use more data but lets you do more with your device. So you might use more data naturally. For example, if you stream video content at the highest resolution, you'll use more data than streaming content at a lower resolution on 4G.

5G is the future of mobile network technology. You can stream videos faster than 4G, download the biggest blockbusters in seconds and hit your high scores playing high-res games on the go. It’s also about connectivity.

5G has much more capacity, allowing more connections in busy places. And with near-instant connections, 5G brings the possibility of exciting new AR and VR experiences to your phone.

We have 5G phones available now and want you to have as much choice as possible. As more 5G devices are released, we'll look to add them to our range. Discover our range of 5G phones and devices.

If you’re in an area with 5G and have a 5G SIM, 5G will automatically switch on and be ready to use. If there’s an issue with your connection, check your mobile network settings on your phone.

5G works hand-in-hand with 4G. When you connect to 5G on EE, you’ll automatically connect to 4G and 5G parts of the network simultaneously - combining the power of 4G and 5G. 

However, 5G isn’t a replacement for 4G – it’s an addition to our existing award-winning network. Check 5G coverage in your area using our coverage map.
