Hi, I have been picking up 5G in my area, which has been fantastic! So fast!! Just a quick question, does it use up more data than 3G or 4G?

Thanks,

J

5G doesnt inherently use more data than 4G. Its merely a more advanced form of network with faster speeds, lower latency and greater capacity.An article here .....

1mb of data is 1mb of data regardless of how you download it, but, as it's a faster delivery, you will probably find you use more data just because you can get more in the same given timeframe.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
