Why do 5G Speeds from the mast vary by 10x town to town

Hi. My local mast (BH20 4SN) providing 5G coverage manages 30-150mbps download (semi rural town of 6000 people). If i travel 10 miles to a very populated area i can get 800mbps.

Why?

Is this an issue with the equipment on the mast not being capable? Would be interested to know. When i signed up with ID for 5G i was expecting far superior speeds. My local mast is not meeting expectations.

Welcome comments.

Hi @interceptor 

 

Different areas have different signal strengths and capabilities, Three UK are always rolling out 5G to new areas, however 5G isn’t and likely won’t be available absolutely everywhere.
