Three launches 5G fixed wireless access service in London

Three has launched a 5G fixed wireless access service in London – allowing its customers to order a 5G ‘plug and play’ hub, which will provide them with fibre-like internet speeds, without the need for a fixed line connection.

The company is offering the service via a 12 month contract, costing £35 per month.

Three has previously announced that it will roll out 5G across 25 cities in the UK by the end of 2019. Customers will able to access 5G once they have a compatible handset at no extra cost when in a 5G area, and the company will continue to expand its coverage during 2020 and beyond.

Dave Dyson, Three’s CEO, said: “Three’s 5G is going to revolutionise the home broadband experience. No more paying for landline rental, no more waiting for engineers, and even a same day delivery option. It really is the straightforward plug and play broadband that customers have been waiting for.

“We’ve taken a simple approach with one single truly unlimited data plan to give customers the opportunity to fully explore 5G and all its exciting possibilities. The ease and immediacy of it all means home broadband using 5G is going to be key to the future of the connected home.”
