has anywhere near blanket coverage. You can check
Vodafone’s 5G coverage here using postcode search


  • fave.co/32KvKPr.
    My experience of 5G on the Galaxy S10 5G was
    more varied than I found on EE’s network using the
    OnePlus 7 Pro. I went to Pentonville Road between
    King’s Cross and Angel in London where the coverage
    checker said I’d find 5G. I did indeed, but found that
    an iPhone 8 on Vodafone’s 4G network got a whole
    100Mb/s better connection than the S10 on a 5G
    connection – see the image above.
    EE’s 5G connection was always faster than a 4G
    connection when compared, whereas Vodafone’s
    was inconsistent. It was slower when on 5G (above)
    compared to a phone on a 4G plan, but then faster
    than that same 4G phone when on a 4G connection
    itself (overleaf).


Note the 5G symbol in the
status bar of the S10 (left)
