U.K. operator Three announced that its 5G network currently covers 60% of the population.
In a release, the carrier said its 5G offering is now available in more than 588 locations across more than 4,250 sites nationwide.
Currently, Three covers 99% of the U.K. outdoor population with its combined 3G and 4G network and carries 28% of mobile data traffic in the country.
The operator had previously announced that it would turn off its 3G network by the end of 2024 in a move that will allow the company to focus investments and spectrum resources on further improving 4G services, while rolling out 5G.
