O2 5G

Oxygen87 — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 05:49:07 GMT

Any ideas what the roll out is going to be like? Will I be waiting several years for it to arrive in my area? I was looking at an article about Vodafone, they are launching 5G soon, with around something like 5 cities initially followed by another 12 before the end of 2019. Of course my previous network EE, are already banging on about having 5G available now (I really wish a network would beat them on being the best 5G network as they are a terrible network for customer service and at ripping customers off!). I haven't really seen anything about O2 5G on their website but feel free to let me know anything you guys know! Cheers.

Hi @Oxygen87

@Chris_K is the only one who can answer your question as to whether there is any news on O2's roll out of 5G.

If there is any information he will let you know as I've tagged him.

We'll be launching our 5G network this year and we'll announce further info and details as we get closer to launch, but there's no new info to share just yet, other than what's covered in the above link. We're excited about the possibilities 5G has for the British economy and transformational abilities it has for businesses.

Don't forget to connect to 5G (once it's available), you'll need a 5G-compatible handset like the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 5G which we'll be ranging when it goes on sale.

As and when we have more 5G related news to share, we'll let everyone know
