Almost 93% of the UK benefits from good quality 4G coverage from at least one mobile network operator, but we know more needs to be done in rural areas. Our £1bn Shared Rural Network agreement with industry, will increase coverage to 95% by the end of 2025, supporting rural businesses and communities. Ofcom is also looking at the accuracy of coverage reporting to ensure it better reflects people’s experiences over coverage.
