The reason for my question is a recent experience on a holiday to Mexico. Long story short my iPhone got stolen and I had to buy a Motorola phone with a pre-paid 5G SIM card from a local operator called Telcel. I noticed that web sites and YouTube load crazy fast, although the phone is an old model from 2022. So I Googled "measure internet speed" and Google's own speed meter showed 3.8Gbits download! I tried fast.com and it showed 3.9Gbps. Later I tried to measure the speed a few more times and often it will go up to 4.2 - 4.3Gbps. The fastest speed I've seen in UK is 6xx Mbps...
So I'm wondering what is your experience with 5G internet. Have you seen some crazy speeds in UK or abroad? And do you think UK is now behind the world in mobile tech?
