No 5G for Pay as you go

[Cmckue]

 

There is no 5G available for those EE customers on Pay as you go which I am highly disappointed about especially when EE are supposed to be prideful on there strong reliable speeds, EE please change this because is not fair that we do not get the value that we pay for regardless of being on Pay as you go.

P.S. I do not even get full bar 4g sometimes it is like 1 or two bars which further agitates me

@Bristol Internet! Streaming, games, video calls etc

5G is standard now and a 100 times faster than 4G.

4G and physical sims are obsolete. 

Pity, I was quite keen on trying EE.

EE's PAYG SIMs are capped at 25 Mbps Speed, so if speed is your concern then it will not be any faster than this on PAYG, regardless of what type of network configuration you are connected to. 

The more important factor instead of 4G vs 5G or on-screen signal bars is the Frequency Band you are connected to and the bandwidth available. This will determine the performance, as it is possible to have better experiences in some areas on 4G than you would in another area with 5G NSA.

5G NSA (Non-Standalone) relies on the 4G LTE network as the anchor until 5G Standalone becomes commonplace, 1800 MHz is EE's base coverage layer on 4G in most areas. 4G is far from obsolete.

After damaging a perfectly good keyboard (that could easily be termed obsolete) Matt, I concluded "troll". That, or a marketers dream.

4G1800Mhz *is* EE's base-layer except in low-band-only areas.

@Person_Mobile   What you state you need 5G for all work perfectly fine over 4G and 4G is far from obsolete as why are Phones still being manufactured to support 4G and why is there a 4G network?  and SIM cards are far from obsolete as again phones are made for Sim cards to be installed in them.   5G isn’t the standard now it’s from from it.  I’m happily using 4G over 5G and I can use 5G.   

and as stated PAYG is limited to 25meg so you’ll not be any better if you could use 5G it’s still 25Meg.  So not 100 times faster at all
