We’re always improving our network
We’ve come a long way since 2G (when you could only call and text) and 3G (when you could only browse simple websites). Our commitment to provide the UK with the best coverage includes reliable 4G for those places 5G can’t yet reach. What’s more, we’ve just launched 5G Ultra – our next-level 5G experience.
We’re committed to improving our network and we’ve invested billions in our broadband and mobile networks to bring you more reliable connections.
We’re excited to share our new TV advert celebrating our Wimbledon sponsorship and Grand Slam-winning ambassadors, Gordon Reid MBE and Alfie Hewett.
Our network is now powered by 100% renewable electricity.
