In the past few months, social media has been bombarded by the UK’s complaints about poor mobile phone signal. So why is the UK mobile phone signal so bad? What’s going on?
It might be nice to hear that you’re not alone! If you’ve been struggling to hold calls, or finding it slow to load web pages, you don’t need a newer phone, or to upgrade your package…
Here are the findings released by a recent report:
Out of 25 European countries, the UK ranks 22 for 5G.
Out of all the G7 countries, the UK has the slowest download speed.
…so no, it’s not just you!
Why is the UK phone signal so bad?
Huawei
In 2020, the Chinese telecoms provider Huawei was forced to withdraw from the UK market over national security fears. But due to the speed that the removal was demanded by the government, UK providers have struggled to find reliable replacements.
Land Disputes
The installation of more 5G masts has been slow, leaving sizeable gaps in coverage as service providers struggle with legal battles with landowners.
