There are complete 5G home routers in the pipeline and on the market already. The Non-Standalone Access option means it’s fairly quick to bolt the 5G NR ( “New Radio”) high-performance air interface onto existing LTE networks, so adoption is going fairly quickly. I’m currently relying on a dual-setup of a particularly impacted BT VDSL 30/5 Mbps) and Vodafone LTE-A ~90/20Mbps) which together bridge a compromise between the relatively low throughput of VDSL and high latency/jitter of contemporary LTE.ĥG sounds incredibly promising as a stop-gap high-bandwidth (in theory up to 10Gbps, but more realistically 400-500Mbps), low(ish)-latency substitute for decent fibre service in countries where last-mile fibre delivery has been frustratingly inefficient and slow. Three offer some very reasonable SIM-only unlimited data plans, and don’t charge a premium for 5G service so this was probably the most desirable network to offer service.Īs I’ve written recently, I don’t have a particularly good option for Internet connectivity at home. I was quite surprised to see a good region of coverage in my local area on Three’s website.

A few weeks ago I was browsing around our big four mobile phone operators’ websites checking the progress on the UK’s 5G rollout.
