5G: Not yet ready for primetime bbc.com

The UK networks promising a new era of mobile communications are put to the test and found wanting.
This was the year that 5G came to the UK, promising a new era of mobile communications. But how is it working out for those few consumers who have taken the plunge and signed up for a service?

The revolution began on 30 May when EE launched its 5G service in six cities. Vodafone swiftly followed, and then O2 switched on its service in mid-October.
