One of the most widely reported issues with 5G data is that it is sometimes slow and the overall experience may be worse than with LTE.
This may be particularly true for devices that feature slower low-band and mid-band 5G connectivity rather than support for the faster mmWave alternative.
Who do Tesco mobile piggyback off
Networks like giffgaff, Lycamobile, Sky Mobile, Tesco Mobile & Virgin Mobile piggyback on O2’s network for coverage.
What are the disadvantages of 5G?
- Gigabit mobile communications have so far provided little added value for consumers
- Still inadequate availability (especially in rural areas)
- New devices required
- More transmission antennas required for uniform network coverage than with 4G
What network does Three use
Which network does Three use? Three is its own mobile network. It doesn’t piggyback on other network.
How long will 4G be around
4G is expected to last for at least another decade, and possibly longer with the help of Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS), which shares available spectrum between 4G LTE and 5G devices.
DSS provides improved coverage for 5G devices and greater longevity for 4G LTE devices.
Who has better coverage Bell or Rogers
Still, there are some important differences between Bell and Rogers’ national coverage. Bell offers a slightly larger coverage which manages to reach more customers.
According to them, their mobile towers reach around 99% of the country’s population.
Is O2 better than EE
When offers are taken out of the equation, O2 tends to offer better value at the lower end of the market, while EE offers more data at the upper end.
If you want a handset, then it’s worth noting that with some handsets, such as the latest iPhone, EE will only let you get one with a high-end price plan.
Who uses EE to piggyback
Networks like BT Mobile, Plusnet Mobile and 1pMobile piggyback on EE’s network for coverage.
It isn’t necessary to be an Ee customer to get coverage from EE on your mobile phone.
Is PAYG phased out
Customers of Virgin Mobile’s (Virgin Media) Pay As You Go (PAYG) plans have been informed that the service is “ending” and it will be gradually phased out between October 2021 and January 2022.
What was the Optus data breach
A hacker acting under the pseudonym “optusdata” claims to have stolen the data of 10 million Optus customers.
The information included home addresses, drivers’ licenses, Medicare numbers, and passport numbers. No passwords or financial details have been compromised.
Who piggybacks off EE
There are currently two MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) using EE’s network. These are BT Mobile and Plusnet Mobile.
What was the Optus breach
Last week, Australian telecommunications giant Optus revealed about 10 million customers – about 40% of the population – had personal data stolen in what it calls a cyber-attack.
Some experts say it may be the worst data breach in Australia’s history.
Who piggybacks off Three
Networks like Honest Mobile, iD Mobile, SMARTY and Superdrug piggyback on Three’s network for coverage.
In the UK, it also possible to access a Three mobile signal when you’re using a SIM card from Honest Mobile, iD Mobile, SMARTY and Superdrug Mobile.
This is because they piggyback on Three’s mobile network coverage.
Who does giffgaff use
We run on the O2 network, so 4G coverage is standard.
