Full Analysis

5G Business vs 4G Business: Complete Breakdown

The 4G vs 5G choice for WV businesses depends primarily on location. In WV1–WV14, 5G from EE and Vodafone now delivers 200–500 Mbps average — rivalling FTTP connections.

In rural WV postcodes — WV5, WV7, WV8, WV9, WV15, WV16 — 4G is more reliably available. 5G requires dense small cell deployment that rural areas lack. 4G delivers 20–80 Mbps here — suitable for failover and many business uses.

For failover, the network choice is less critical — dual-WAN routers use whichever signal is strongest. For primary 5G connections, we verify signal strength at your premises first.
