How fast is 4G & 5G?

4G was faster than 3G, but just how much faster is it really? And what about 5G?

4G offers maximum real-world download speeds up to around 100Mbps, making it over 20 times faster than 3G.

Theoretical maximum 4G speeds are significantly higher at 300Mbps, although such speeds are only achievable in controlled laboratory environments.

5G is far faster still. We’ll get into exactly how fast below, along with everything else you need to know about 4G and 5G speeds.

What about 5G?

There hasn’t been the same amount of studies into real-world 5G speeds at the time of writing, but in September 2019 Opensignal reported that the highest 5G speeds recorded on any UK network were 599Mbps.

Beyond that, we’ll have to go by the averages and the claims from networks, which are largely in line with the figures further up in this article.

However, there’s one notable exception. Three claims that because it has so much more 5G spectrum than rivals it can offer speeds that are up to twice as fast. If true, that might mean peak speeds of over 2Gbps (since most rivals say their peak download speeds reach or exceed 1Gbps).
