4 in 10 UK mobile users lose reliable signal on the move
People travelling across the UK are regularly left without dependable phone and internet access, making work and communication harder. Research published on Sunday found more than four in 10 mobile users couldn’t reliably get 4G or 5G for at least half the time while moving around. Among 18- to 24-year-olds, 57% reported weekly frustration, while the UK ranked 59th for mobile download speeds last year.
