Interestingly enough, the big five European economies (U.K., Germany, France, Spain, and Italy) were outperformed by the Nordics and two Southern Eastern European markets (Bulgaria and Cyprus). In performance, most European countries achieved median 5G download speeds under 200 Mbps, placing them within the 5G low performance Telcos.īulgaria was the only country that made it into the 5G Leaders category, which includes the likes of the UAE, South Korea, Singapore, and Qatar, with a median 5G download speed of 342.71 Mbps, However, 5G adoption across Europe is way below its global peers.Īccording to GSMA, in Q4 2022, 5G uptake in Europe accounted for 7.4 % of total mobile connections, a strong increase over the Q4 2021 level of 2.5%.Īcross European countries, 5G adoption is at most 21% (Switzerland), compared to 43.1% in the United States, 42.4% in South Korea, China (36.3%), Australia (30.1%), and Japan (28.5%). Most European countries have5G networks in place. If anybody has any suggestion, I'd be grateful to hear them.Europe: 5G adoption lags, 5G performance doesn’t impress either I'm an IT Engineer by trade and this has flummoxed me. At a distance of around 6 feet away from the Hub5. The maximum I could achieve, using an iPhone 14 Pro Max and a Samsung S23 Ultra, was 750Mbps. Orbi appears to use Ookla Speedtest and these are the numbers I'd expect to see via LAN connection.Īlthough I'm certain the Orbi system can handle Gigabit WiFi speeds, I decided to power it down and put the Hub5 into router/WiFi mode and test the Speeds. The Orbi's inbuilt Speed test shows me 1148.48Mbps down and 51.87Mbs up.
I was expecting a steady 950(ish)Mbps download speed. Speed tests are now erratic with anything from 300-780Mbps down, but a fairly consistent 49-51Mbps up. The upgrade provided a Hub5 which I duly set to modem mode and made no other changes to my Orbi setup. This gave me a constant and steady 640Mbps down and 41Mbps up when using Ookla Speed Test on all of my WiFi 6 capable devices.
My setup consisted of a Hub3 in modem mode as I use a Netgear Orbi Mesh system (RBK853) for WiFi. I recently upgraded my package and subsequently upgraded from 600Mbps to 1Gbps broadband.
