London reportedly has the lowest quality of 5G connections compared to other European cities. A report from fixed and mobile network benchmarking company MedUX found that London ranked 10th for quality of 5G experience, with Berlin coming out on top, out of a group of 10 European cities that included Barcelona, Paris and Lisbon. This was revealed by the survey results.
This report was created using robots to properly assess fixed and mobile wireless internet broadband and identify and resolve network issues. The report also includes contributions from communications providers, regulators, and companies that benchmark and monitor networks.
Berlin offers the ‘best’ 5G connection, London has the ‘worst’
Berlin has the highest 5G coverage among European cities, with an 89.6% reach rate, the report notes. It’s also the best city for 5G streaming, with average latency of less than 40ms.
In an interview with CNBC, MedUX Chief Marketing Officer Rafael Galarreta said: “They’re very good at doing things properly. They’re the best in certain worlds.”
He also highlighted Berlin’s excellence in data for video streaming and over-the-top (OTT) media services.
Berlin, Barcelona and Paris received the highest scores among European cities in this report. These cities outperformed his 5G quality benchmarks, with Lisbon, Milan, and Porto coming in as runners-up.
Meanwhile, London was near the bottom of the European 5G network rankings. Currently, nearly 77.5% of the city’s population has 5G on their devices, which is below the city average.
London also has poor downlink speed performance. According to the report’s data, the city offers users an average download speed of 143 Mbps (megabits per second), compared to 528 Mbps in Lisbon, 446 Mbps in Porto, and 326 Mbps in Barcelona.
Outside of London, Munich, Germany, was the city with the second-worst 5G downlink speeds, with an average download speed of 259 Mbps.
“The UK is struggling for a number of reasons. We have already talked about macro things, but the two most important aspects where the UK mobile network lags are speed and accessibility and network responsiveness. is.” Galaretta added.
He also notes that network responsiveness affects latency, which impacts data-intensive apps such as online gaming (particularly cloud gaming, which continuously delivers games to end users through remote data centers). I mentioned it.
