The spectrum is activated today and Tele2 can therefor provide its customers with real 5G, with speeds of over 1 Gbit/s, in more than 30 Swedish cities.
Tele2 claims that it was the first to launch 5G in Sweden and was for a long time the only operator that could provide connectivity with real 5G speeds of over 1 Gbit/s. The 5G network rollout continued to be rolled out during the autumn, reachnig more than 30 cities, where Tele2 has provided services with speeds of around 500 Mbit/s. Following the concluded 5G auction, Tele2 can from today provide its customers with speeds of over 1 Gbit/s in these cities.
