How is 5G different from 4G?
Think of 5G as a supercharged version of 4G. It's much faster, meaning quicker downloads and smoother streaming. It also has lower 'latency', which is the delay between sending and receiving data. This makes things like online gaming or even self driving cars more responsive. O2's upgrade brings these benefits to Oxfordshire residents.
