Is 5G expensive?
EE says that you will need a 5G phone and a 5G Smart Plan.
For EE the first plans start from 10GB at £54 a month.
It will go up to £74 a month for 120GB.
EE has also confirmed a number of devices that will be able to support the new 5G network.
These included the delayed Samsung Galaxy Fold, the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, the Oppo Reno 5G and the LG V50 ThinQ.
Apple will not launch an iPhone that can support 5G until 2020 at the earliest.
The states: "Vodafone 5G will cost the same as 4G, because we don’t think you should have to pay extra for a better experience. Our Unlimited 5G ready plans start from £23 a month."
Is 5G better than 4G?
The fastest current 4G mobile networks offer about 45Mbps, which is megabits per second.
The industry is still hopeful it can achieve 1Gbps, which is equal to 1,000 Mbps.
5G is much faster than 4G.
For now, users can achieve about 150-200Mbps.
However, when The Sun tested out the 5G speed they saw high speeds of 315Mbps and even 420Mbps.
Communications watchdog Ofcom suggests in time 5G could offer speeds up to 20Gbps.
When 4G LTE was rolled out it was widely regarded as a turning point in
Video chatting, video-driven social media and mobile consumption of TV and films was made possible.
