UK Mobile Networks Rank 57th Globally

The Next Web reports Britain places 57th worldwide in mobile network quality, behind every G7 country. VodafoneThree states UK networks are unprepared for AI traffic and has committed £11B to upgrades. The company says planning permission, not funding, blocks progress. Its networks director told the Guardian he is embarrassed by current service quality. VodafoneThree calls for reform similar to the EU Gigabit Infrastructure Act, which treats permits as already granted once filed.
