What's the future of broadband in Liverpool?
In 2015, Liverpool was added to the list of gigabit cities in the UK when Hyperoptic installed FTTP connections to several developments around the city, including Wapping Quay, Dock Mill and Hamilton House.
Broadband upgrades in and around Liverpool are being managed by the Merseyside Connected project, which has been responsible for millions of pounds worth of infrastructure improvements. Now it's supporting the rollout of the Government's Project Gigabit scheme, which aims to give access to 1Gb broadband to 85% of the country in the coming years.
Comparing mobile broadband in Liverpool
Liverpool generally has very good mobile coverage with all four networks - EE, O2, Three and Vodafone - providing at least a 4G signal to the central and outlying areas of the city. That means you should have no trouble getting fast mobile broadband wherever you are.
5G is also available in Liverpool from all network operators, though coverage throughout the entire country is currently patchier than 4G. It will give you excellent mobile speeds when available, but otherwise, your device will fall back on the older standard.
Remember, coverage can vary even within locations where this is otherwise a strong signal. The transmissions can be blocked by buildings or other obstructions, so you should check first if you’re planning on using mobile broadband in a specific area.
