The ability to get hyperfast 5G internet connections from Vodafone has opened up in 12 new areas in the UK this month. 5G networks are now available across the UK from South Wales to Gloucestershire, Somerset to Worcestershire. In three of these areas Vodafone are the only operators offering a 5G service at all, while they are well ahead of the competition in terms of coverage in the others.
According to the operators' 5G coverage tracker, Vodafone are truly breaking ground with 5G coverage in Keynsham in Somerset, as well as Dursley and Thornbury in Gloucestershire. There are no other operators offering 5G services in these areas.
In three of the other locations Vodafone's only competition is EE, but Vodafone's offering is much stronger. In Llantwit Major in South Wales Vodafone's 5G availability is good both inside and out, whereas EE only offers 5G outside. The same is true in Lydney in Gloucestershire, whereas in Redditch in Worcestershire EE also offers 5G inside as well as outside. In all these areas there is no 5G offering currently available from EE or O2.
The remaining six areas still show that Vodafone is providing rival-beating 5G networks compared to the other operators. As we previously reported Vodafone has made a strong commitment to 5G in Hertfordshire in Wigan, Golborne, Watford and Rickmansworth. The coverage in South Lackenby in Middlesborough also shows Vodafone is comprehensively beating 02 and EE's patchy 5G offering.
In Coventry there is stiffer competition for Vodafone from EE and Three, but there is still a stronger availability for 5G indoors from Vodafone.
