Methodology
We have conducted research by scouring through websites such as... Signal Checker | Ofcom | MastData | RootMetrics and the network provider's own mobile signal coverage tools. We also took to the local community's social media platforms by asking for their views and conducting opinion polls.It may be worth noting of course that we have no affiliation or agreements in place with any network providers mentioned in this article! It must also be stated that we advise you to carry out your own independent research before making a decision on which mobile provider to choose. Other factors may affect your decision which aren't mentioned in this article such as your exact location and the type of mobile device you use. This is due to there being blackspots in some areas due to the hilly topography of the surrounding area and because most network providers are moving away from 3G technology. Therefore, 3G-only devices will no longer be able to connect to a mobile data network.
Is 5G Available in Penistone?
Installing 5G mobile masts has become somewhat of a controversial subject these days in the UK! Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council recently turned down planning permission to install a 5G mast in the centre of Penistone. (View the official planning permission request here). Therefore, 5G is not available in Penistone at the time of writing this article (July 2023).
Proposed Plan for the 5G Mobile Phone Mast on Shrewsbury Road in Penistone. (Available via BMBC's website).
Should the 5G mobile mast have been installed, Penistone would have had access to a mobile network that could achieve speeds of up to 753Mbps (equivalent to downloading Black Mirror Season 6 in 720p which is 1.6GB in size in just over 2 seconds). Instead, Penistone is currently left with a 4G network that has a peak download speed of 90Mbps (equivalent to downloading the same series of Black Mirror in 17 seconds). This is just to give you an idea of the difference in speed between 5G and 4G mobile network speeds. The speed of a 4G mobile network is, on average, 10% that of a 5G mobile network.
