I would think in Europe even on the top of Jungfraujoch you will have better performance from a 5G link.

- samastur 2y agoNot in Scotland it won't.
- sfeng 2y agoWhere in Scotland? There’s 5G almost everywhere.
- corint 2y ago5G almost everywhere? In Scotland? I respectfully beg to differ. There are massive chunks of Scotland which have no cellular reception at all. There are many places where there is service from some-but-not-all providers. Of those places, there are a few where the service is glacial in performance. Example: if you stop at The Green Welly Stop in Tyndrum (FK20 8RY), you'll have coverage from only two of the mobile networks. Vodafone and o2 have a coverage patch there. Have a look at the coverage maps (bidb.uk aggregates them all). It's absolutely patchy, and certainly not contiguous.
- hylaride 2y agoEurope's cell phone qualities vary a lot by country. Even in western Europe, some surprising countries(1) have absolutely terrible networks. As a Canadian we have some very expensive mobile plans, but our network speeds are mostly very usable in 95% of the places I'll ever end up (I routinely stream netflix/youtube/etc on the train between Toronto and Montreal). (1) I'm looking at you Germany, where my connection between Hamburg and Berlin was mostly edge and my LTE connections in the cities were barely useable. I even switched local SIMs from T-mobile to Vodafone because it was so terrible, but was the same result.
- trompetenaccoun 2y agoThe German mobile network is a joke. Many developing countries have better coverage.
- mbrain 2y agoI travel in a campervan a lot and Germany's 4G coverage is the reason I had to buy Starlink.
