Commenting on the news that Mayor Boris Johnson is to pledge 5G mobile speeds to London by 2020, Ernest Doku, telecoms expert at Uswitch.com, says: “It’s all very well Boris crystal ball gazing, but his comments will likely infuriate mobile users struggling to use their mobile internet – particularly outside the capital where the infrastructure is not always up to scratch.
“It always seems as though London is the priority while other parts of the UK are left to languish in the slow lane.
“The investment in the next super-fast mobile network 5G is undoubtedly important in order for UK businesses to stay competitive internationally but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
“Most of us are still using 3G on our mobiles, and 4G still hasn’t been rolled out across the whole of the UK yet.”
