Any news on 5G
Just wondering if anybody has heard any news of when 5G will come to Virgin. I'm guessing they will wait until after next summer when their merge with O2 has settled down as I can't see them launching 5G with EE and then having to swap over to O2.
My Samsung Galaxy S8+ came out of contract this week so I might as well hang fire until I know whats happening. Ive been looking at the range of 5G ready phones on Virgin mobile so there's no hurry. It took them long enough to get 4G so I imagine it will be another case of 'coming soon' and probably being the last carrier to get 5G. |

As the physical network operators are barely getting going with it themselves, I can't see them being in a hurry to be undercut by VNOs like Virgin.

Just upgraded to 4G (ASDA mobile is cool and very cheap ;) ) Seems fast enough to me. Who really needs to download HD movies to a phone? 4G seems fast enough to me.

But the Virgin partnership with O2 which was given the go ahead in the summer was said to be to compete against BT.
Now I'm starting to get confused. So it now sounds like it will be a Virgin/Vodaphone/O2 partnership. |
Re: Any news on 5G
Virgin Mobile will be moving to the Vodafone radio network first. That agreement was signed before the JV was announced. That's the agreement that then allows for the launch of 5G as mentioned in Press Release.
Once the JV completes then that new entity will decide about what then happens for current Virgin Mobile customers and if / when a further radio network change is done. |
