Meanwhile 5G is currently being trialled and is expected to launch in major cities this summer on the EE network, which is owned by BT.

But BT has told The Sun that prices will remain frozen until the end of this year for both new and existing broadband, line rental and mobile users., which also saw it vow to increase prices for new and renewing broadband, line rental and mobile customers just once a year in line with the Consumer Prices Index measure of inflation.
