REVIEW
But I digress. I was testing the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G
for two weeks in London, where EE literally gave me a
map with the six best spots for coverage in the capital.
When I went to one of these places (Covent Garden,
The Strand, Soho and St Paul’s Cathedral among them),
the 5G symbol popped into the status bar and speeds
would consistently hit between 150- to 400Mb/s.
BT’s basic fibre home broadband speeds are
currently advertised as 36Mb/s.
This is pretty amazing for a wireless mobile device.
As you can see, it also trounced the speeds of my
personal 4G SIM on the giffgaff network.
During a briefing with EE representatives at St
Paul’s I got 400Mb/s download speeds using theDuring testing I reached 360Mb/s standing on
the Strand close to Waterloo Bridge. My giffgaff
SIM could hit a quite respectable 43Mb/s
