I live in Northern Ireland, I get 5G pretty much everywhere I've cared to look. I do a lot of cycling and I stream Spotify at max settings and it's never cut out even in the middle of nowhere so I assume I'm getting at least 4G everywhere.

In Belfast I get 115/20 mbps down/up with EE, I think I remember hearing there's something dodgy with whether what your phone shows as 5G is actually 5G but that's easily fast enough for anything I'm likely to be doing from my phone.

I'd say it's been like this for years. Looking at a coverage map it looks like it gets spottier out west where fewer people live though

Doesn't Spotify buffer? A few seconds of dropout is fine for playing songs where you can easily buffer a minute or two of data; not so good for a phonecall which ends within those same few seconds without an active connection.

It also caches whole songs.
