We use pigeons down here in Tenby Wales, they all carry 4G and when they flock together we get 7G
I heard crows carry a better signal and are more reliable.
@@Jellykrop that’s a common myth, it’s actually magpies as they like the shininess of your phone, therefore they’re always closer.
LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣 u just made my day haha.
@@jackmchaledj How do you adjust for the Hawk interference removing carriers?
😅🤣
Awesome! Great review. Thanks - helps me make a decision on whether to get a 5G mobile.
Great vlog Alex, Thank you and the phone looks pretty good too
0:26 Nice Ultra Dish you got there. We use a lot of KP Performance antenna/dishes for our backhauls. Mostly UBNT Rockets, UBNT Air Fibers and Mimosa B5c. Ultra Dish 550s are dope.
4:05 T-Mobile in the USA uses Low Band, Mid Band and high band 5G. Low band is pretty widespread even in Rural areas in the middle of nowhere. I get low band 5G at home. LTE speedtests around 8mbps while low band 5G averages around 90-100mbps. Huge difference. I finally got to test Mid Band 5G last week and got around 430mbps which was pretty impressive.
I've seen pings as low as 13ms on Low Band 5G SA.
Only flaw with T-Mobile is even with the Sprint acquisition they have lots of ground to catch up on in regards to coverage. That said their 5G here is up to 200 Mbps here where the Verizon low band 5G here is only about 50 Mbps down.
Good to see some new content enjoy your channel
love your vids!!!
well done!!
what signal meter app are you using ?
As soon I got there I put my phone on a wall with a fast flowing river on the other side of it lol
I like the danger in your videos

Did a test with my Oneplus in Sweden, got slightly above 1300 down and 200 up with 12 ping
How you Alex, could you please advise me?
I live what apperently is classed as the sticks of Wales,
Anyhow I have cancelled my LAN WiFi due to problems with signal and speeds drop outs ect for the family so I'm looking at the 4G home road.
Now we're on mobiles with ee works great In the back of the house but poorly in the front of the house.
What would your advise be please
Great videos keep them up
John
Extremely low upload speeds is such a bummer for the UK broadbands. seeing 100mbit here is a gulp of fresh air.
It's not too shabby on Three in Leicester.
I get about 950mbps; but their is an industrial estate up the road from my house.
What song(s) were used in this video?
May I ask what speed test app and signal meter app you used in the video?
I’d too like to know about the signal meter
Impressive speeds clocked.. Can you do a video on the actual architecture of 5g?? Something simple enough for everyone to understand.
Hi there. The speeds are impressive for your daily general web browsing. But does anyone know if this would be good for downloading apps etc and importantly for games and streaming online without lag? Kind regards. Colin
If you're on about the speeds shown in the video then yes they are good enough for practically everything. But the ping is still not the best so for gaming there could still be a considerable amount of lag.
when you live in Indonesia, saying good bye to fast connection. *LMAO*
very good explanation
Can I get that signal app for my iPhone
Thank you for explaining our 5G bands. Whilst I know the difference, many people don't.
mmWave isn't coming in the next auction in March, it's just 700mhz [the old DTTV band] and 3.6 to 3.8ghz bands.
To put the into some perspective, one of our WiFi hub bands use the 5ghz bands.
It's all about speed right now but I'm excited for the internet of things. Connected street furniture & cars. So many possibilities.
Farmers are able to track their animals too & collect data on growing crops in fields.
Thanks Alex.
Great comment. The benefits of 5G aren’t really what Alex is talking about the big impact it will make is on Industry 4.0. Being able to download a Spotify playlist down from 60 seconds to 2 seconds isn’t why so much is being invested into this although it is impressive like you say these speeds are just to impress people, pointless in the real world. It’s to provide enough bandwidth for the Internet of everything
What's the app called where he measures the signal strength called?
ookola
great video mate
The highest I have got on the iPhone 12 Pro Max is 737 Mbps on EE 5G at London Waterloo station on the platform. I do have the mmWave iPhone variant so hopefully the UK will rollout mmWave soon as well as keeping the mid-band. Even 4G is significantly better thanks to the Qualcomm X55 modem. No heating or battery issues and I get 5G signal EVERYWHERE in London. Super exciting.
Upgraded to 5G three days ago. 170mbs on the phone inside the house. Up to 70mbs on devices tethered via hotspot. Touched 200mbs when about and about Giffgaff (O2) network. Xiaomi note 9t. Very pleased so far
Nice!
I unsubscribed ages ago. A video without F er Net mentioned. Im impressed. Gave it a thumbs up. Here is to 2021. Please keep up the hard work. Might even re-subscribe, who knows, crazy times!
Yes I know, it’s eythernet not effernet
Im here from the states and 5G is solid so far, I never lose a connection. I think you were referring to about 2 years ago when Verizon was deploying Millimeter 5G and it was hit or miss at the point. T-Mobile is leading the 5G race here with aggressively deploying their N41 2.5GHz that they have obtained from Sprint. So far I have tested as high as 738mbps down and 100mbps on the upload. Verizon was heavily deploying millimeter wave with beam forming technology, but has shifted toward deploying their newly acquired C-Band. AT&T too, has acquired new C-Band but will deploy over the years.
We don’t have ANY of those providers in the uk lol
what happend to your M2 ? also need a video on the defender ! asap please
Be all the localised flooding :)
But the question is, will this become a replacement for landline based broadband connections?
@Humphshumphs If you are talking about DSL, then yes because it's faster. Against actual fiber or coaxial connections it will most likely shift the market from regular ISP's to wireless ones with similar to faster speeds for less money since less construction would be required. In the U.S. it can easily cost $25k+ for a ISP to trench across a intersection with permits and takes weeks to months VS repeating from another tower and all you need is power.
No but it will definitely be used in some areas to supplement broadband
whats the name of the app that was used for testing ?
Lincoln is a small city I’m very surprised it even had 5G, did you do a test in the uphill area of Lincoln around the castle?
I know, i was impressed! Yeah we did, right up top! Was genuinely impressive!
Three installed 5G in my town in the middle of nowhere. Don’t know why they did it but can’t say I’m upset as the mobile signal before was crap from all the networks
What was the second app where you using?
I have the same problem with battery and 5G, using a note 10 plus 5G, tried another note 10 and it has the same problem, drains battery
Internet service provision??
Glad someone else heard it
dont worry where i live in Texas the signal sucks even with 5Ge which is only 4g+. My phone drops calls all the time
Got about 600 sometimes 800 in springburn.
Can you explain 4g super voice on three network apparently it runs on 2g network with 4g speeds three just released three 5g+ super voice in South wales running on 3g network my speet test is running 1.2ghz
Threes Super Voice runs on 4G and 4G only. Three doesn’t own any 2G network so that wouldn’t be possible. Super Voice makes calls clearer than 3G. 3G is capable up to 386Kbps, H is capable of 5Mbps and H+ can do 21 Mbps or H++ can do 41Mbps.
What signal meter app did you use?
Managed to get 976 Mbps on 3UK in London!
Its called Wifiman
theirs one 5g antenna in Hastings on o2 not Shure abt other company's but next to it i got 277 down and 25.4 up
Yeah wait until everyone is on 5G, speeds won't be nearly as good, especially in big cities. I remember when people were first testing 4G and getting 150-200 mbps, now you're lucky to get 15-20. It's still good, but these numbers won't hold. In many of these tests I wouldn't be surprised if you were the only one connected to that antenna or one of 2-3 at most. Luckily, even 4G is way overkill for what most people need, you can stream 1080p video on 5 mbps, so even if you get 10% of those 5G speeds, it's still pretty good.
Mate, I'm disappointed you didn't try 3, I'm with 3, live in Hull & in the city centre I've never got less than 590Mbps & that's without blanket city centre coverage & without full 5G capacity deployment in the city centre. I believe 3 will be the masters of 5G. Considering the current spectrum allocation, which directly impacts capacity, 3 has the most 5G spectrum hand over fist against all the other MNO's, excited to see what the future holds fwotu regards to 5G.
My only concern is that I don't think that the current mid band deployment will fully cover the IoT in the coming years once we are fully geared up & connected to 5G with multiple devices.
The signal in Derbyshire is absolutely terrible, i cant wait till we get some sort of decent internet and signal 😂
Dear Alex , Thank you for the video
Could you try three 5G ?
Because they have more spectrum than any other carrier
I tried it in London recently and got 400 down in the middle of Euston
I'm with Three and have a 5G phone and home router and can say the speed is average (for me) is around 700+mbps download and 60mbps upload; these can vary depending on the usage of the network but I'm probably one the few people in my area that has a 5G router for the house so, that's a bonus.
I’m with three also and I get far better speeds than EE, check my video on my channel
What is the app your using for signal checking
wifiman
I was quite an early adopter of 5G. I got the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G as soon as EE launched 5G. More than a year later, I still have to pay extra for 5G and I get faster speed on 4G most of the time since I barely get the 5G signal. I think we still have a long way to go
Oh we do in the UK if I still get 1mbps on 4G at my house but go into town and get 300mbps on 5G
1.5 gbps with 7ms ping here in Greece with midband 5G
Meanwhile, here in the philippines we already had a 5G on our two telcom but the problem it's only available in Manila
Enk wrong it is also available in Metro Cebu and Davao. Here in Davao max speed I can get is around 300Mbps not bad at all since there's still room for improvement.
What’s the app?
No Fibre Broadband in Fulham...can you believe it??
I wonder witch app is he using to test the network speeds. Please tell me if you know
speed test
@@Yungbunie I tought so too, but that app doest not show the dBm strenght of the singnal
On My IPhone 12 Pro I got 440mps on BT mobile and 50mps upload on 5G in Leamington Spa Parade
What was the app used to see the strength of the cell signal?
Speedtest
Ookla speed test
Ookla is just for speed testing.
I got 598 down in Sheffield
Thank god for fibre hey Alex
What I’ve noticed in London on Vodafone 5g is, you can’t get a signal indoors. The only indoor signal I got was in my gym? Same with Three 5G, couldn’t get an indoor signal anywhere.
Double glazing....
@@rotemguez1 I doubt it, we are not talking mmWave here.
I got 316Mbps in the central Lincoln (inside M&S), upload was only 13Mbps though!!
I'm from Lincoln, and I've just got a Samsung S21 Ultra... I have yet to experience 5G, so I assume it's completely localised in the centre of Lincoln.
Don't expect it to r be rolled out quickly, these things take ages in our country. May never even be brought to some areas
Stop using EE they have the worst type of 5G. It’s called 8T8R 5G and it’s basically 4G spectrum but on 5G. MaMIMO (which three and Vodafone use) is much faster and much more reliable. I get 500 down on 3 with 5G on a pixel 5.
I never get more than 200mbps on vodafone in Liverpool.
Found this really interesting. Thank you for this 👍🏻😊
as chips get better it makes sense that the teething troubles would be iron out
In the UK its not teething problems, it's just that we're shit at rolling these things out. The state of 4G is still piss poor because at my house I honestly get 1mbps but when I go into town I get 300mbps on 5G
I would say 5G was a big con game at the moment, only because so few places in the UK actually provide it.
Since 5G actually came out, providers have been using it as a way to get people to buy there phones/network, and when they are charging a lot more for the 5G variant of these phones than the 4G ones when you can't actually utilise it makes it wasted money.
This occurs every time there's a change in mobile signal type. The same thing happened with 4G, plans were expensive and coverage was low. Unfortunately means that 5G phones right now are funding the set up costs until the network is stronger
I am with 3 network they supply fastest 5G and covers all UK at no extra cost and pay 25 a month for unlimited 5G
In Germany I dont have to leave my house to get 5g. It's already present in my ~8.000 inhabitants town.
But just with about 350 mbit/s but still....
LTE is about 250 mbit/s.
I thought you would dropped the phone in the water then
Meanwhile, still no EE 5G in Bournemouth. Still don't know why I'm paying for...
Got nearly 900 with three in normanton west yorks
hi am with three network on a Samsung a32 5g going to do a full 5g speed test video when am in Edinburgh end off this month will let you no what speed i get there
I get 5G down here in Portsmouth
I decided to upgrade to the 12 Pro Max and currently I have yet to get 5G signal in my area. My area is supposed to have it so I’m wondering if I need to upgrade my SIM or something? Loving the phone though.
I would say checking out your carrier for 5g availability in your area and SIM card capability.
Yes, when I got my new device with O2 I had to change for a 5G SIM, also note, with iPhone 12's at least, you can't use 5G while in dual-sim mode
Should come to Birmingham, Three 5G about 300meters away from a mast getting 600mbps on Iphone 12 Pro
Im not jealous. Andy England 🇬🇧👍🤢😭
I’m with Three and I get about 950mbps download (Bolton, iPhone 12)
I got 431 download and 32.9 upload on 4g on my s10 plus
are you worried about starlink?
Is it true virgin has 1gb fiber connection in the UK?
yes in a few cities though and upload is way to slow compared to download.
yes I have it in Liverpool UK, its not amazing.
community fibre have 3Gbps They installed a box on a pole close to my house i think that's 920Mbps
im in sweden and get about 600-800 mbs in my apartment
But why do that when you can cut as many costs as possible and deliver piss poor service and charge your customers a fortune for it, that's how we do it in the UK. It's all about money here.
And I’m here with 12 mbps on my home router
5G is not the 5th generation of mobile data, it's the 5th generation of the mobile network, it carries voice over LTE (VoLTE) in addition to the data speed and more importantly latency benefits
924 down 47 up outside hospital chesterfield 😀
Try 3uk.. luck to get 3g speeds..
Almost got my 1200/300 modem out as it's faster than their network. (Brighton)
HELPPP I’ve got WiFi that gives me 40 down and like 15 up but once I leave the room that the router is in like 5/7 meters to my room I have no WiFi.... HELPP
Buy a better router I recommend tp link or change service provider
What speeds do u get from 4g+ then?
Just curious because I'm getting like 220+mbps from it with a oneplus 8pro (still not 5g enabled 😭)
in tamworth uk i got 700 download speed
Getting 350 upload in Cardiff. We just need some good 5G routers now ( not Huawei) to use unlimited sims for mobile broadband. That will force landline companies to up their game
5G routers are crazy expensive
@@shaneclarke4223 They'll come down, they can use pretty affordable 5g chipset now. So I think by the end of the year there'll be 3/4 affordable options
Only reason I haven't upgraded my phone. 5g isn't no where near me in the usa
Was i the only on who heard ''servish provision'?
5G in Glasgow city centre (Outside Tim Hortons) - O2 - 400Mbps down, 60mbps up
You didn't test the upload speed which is what I was waiting to see so am sad about that
103 Mb/s
Because upload speeds really aren't great in the UK
in sheffield i always have a really bad 4g signal and the speed is terrible, not holding out much hope for 5g
I'm in Sheffield I think it's gonna get better soon. You should try using EE since I never have connection problems unless underground or outskirts
@@IN-pr3lw i might give EE a try, i'm currently with three and the service is dreadful
@@HalfNuked I’m in the countryside and i tired ALLLL other providers and they were SHIT. Didn’t load fok all. Three however I actually can load sites and I get around 13mbps
The other ones tho legit no joke genuinely didn’t load webpages even tho it had full signal ridiculous
@@HalfNuked EE has been the best for me, I live in a quite rural area and absolutely everyone complains about signal except those with EE
I get 670 mbps with 3 in Essex on my iPhone 12 Pro Max
Although 3 at the moment has the worst 5G coverage. They will have the fastest 5G speeds out of any other operators for the foreseeable as they have the most continuous mid-band spectrum compared to competitors. They have been very slow to deploy 5G sites :(
I'm same on my Huawei in Edinburgh I get over 1gigabit almost everywhere in Edinburgh
@Trxp Gxd I got an iphone 12 on eir mobile for 40 euro a month on a 24 month contract
@@M4ZyM0Ny Three is quite weird actually, I live in a rural area an 5G is now available but when I go to bigger areas where apparently 5G is available I don't get it
Hi Alex. I enjoyed your 5G video. I saw KRK speakers on your table on black stands. Can you please share brand and spec? I’ve got also KRK and realy like them.
I've seen over 400 mbps on 4G Plus in Australia
Here in Alaska, I've gotten 300 Mbps on 4G LTE +.
I am living with asdamobile in spain I am having true unlimited data abroad as well
Keep it. Up
Beautiful phone
Hmm over 1.2 gbits in Berlin with T-Mobile .. for what ever you may need that
In the UK with new technology like 5G we are absolutely terrible at rolling it out and it's quite frankly embarrassing. Our broadband infrastructure is worse than some 3rd world countries, I did however get 900mbps in one area on 5G.
keep the good videos up man
I'm from generation Wicked, this Sick stuff is like trying to teach an old dog new tricks.
I use Moto g50 and is low range phone but still powerful has Qualcomm Snapdragon 480
There's way to much marketing buzz words around phone tech,, some of the best phones u can buy for less than 300 quid even 200
5g is such a disappointment. It's only available to about 1% of the UK (if that). I'm lucky to get good 4g in my village. But I never expect 5g to arrive. More likely to get starlink before then.
i use it now as home broadband as I don't have fibre to home. i get 100- 500 mbs and 5- 40 up
Damn the UK’s slowest is the fastest in the Philippines and damn its unstable most of the time and we’re suppose to be in 5G already
