After years of anticipation, 2019 was the year that 5G finally went live in the UK. All four network operators have deployed 5G in some fashion, bringing the tantalizing prospect of gigabit cellular networks much closer to reality. 

But for the vast majority of consumers, 4G networks handle their daily internet browsing, video streaming, and voice calling -- and all 4G networks aren’t built equal.

To evaluate the performance of EE, Three, Vodafone, and O2, Tutela has evaluated 223,349,898,716 measurements collected from iOS and Android smartphones in the UK, taken from February 1st to July 31st 2019.

The results include over 30 million throughput tests and over 520 million latency tests, taken from over 1.9 million unique devices, over both 3G and 4G networks.
