Customers on O2 and Three are already able to use 5G services in Aberdeen.
Speeds on offer can be in excess of those most people will enjoy at home or on their mobiles with 5G networks capable of speeds of more than 400Mbps at the moment. In the future, this is expected to hit 1Gbps
The average home broadband speed in Aberdeen according to Which? was 13.5Mbps, with 4G phones hitting an average of around 35Mbps.
However, despite the roll-out of the new technology in Aberdeen, customers will need to have one of the latest phones to benefit.
Google, Apple and Samsung’s latest devices all come with 5G.
Marc Allera, chief executive of BT’s Consumer business, said: “Delivering the best mobile experience for our customers has never been more important.
“Our 5G rollout continues apace, with our engineers building and upgrading new sites every day to bring the latest mobile technology to even more people in the places they need it.
“We have 5G coverage in more places than anyone in the UK, and we remain focused on connecting many more areas this year and beyond.”
