5G is here. In the UK you can sign up for next-gen mobile internet with Vodafone, EE, Three and now Sky Mobile - with others on the way.
The bad news? You’ll need one of a mobile from our list of the best 5G phones below. Your old one won’t do the trick.
UPDATED: In 5G news this week, Sky has now rolled out its 5G service to 21 locations across the UK, including Leeds, Edinburgh, Norwich and London. Like the other service providers, you'll need a few things to get started, including one of the 5G-compatible phones below, as well as a Sky VIP membership. Without that, you'll need to pay for a 5G add-on.
We've test driven 5G in London over the last few weeks, and you can find some serious speed in the right spots. Downloads of 330Mbps and above are 10x faster than the 4G average. And 5G will only get better over the next 12 months.
