London, Cardiff, Belfast, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Manchester will be the first to benefit from 5G super-fast mobile speeds from EE. Mr Allera added that EE is upgrading more than 100 sites to 5G every month, and the company "won't be throttling 4G to make 5G look faster". SIM-only 5G data plans will start from £32 per month for 20GB of data, and range up to £52 per month for 100GB of data. EE’s core 5G network currently relies on Huawei technology, but EE confirmed that it had received “no instructions to change our plans”. Commenting on the news, Kester Mann, Principle Analyst Operators at CCS Insight, said EE's launch highlighted that the shift from 4G to 5G is an evolutionary one.
