SKY Mobile has finally launched 5G internet across the UK – with super-fast speeds available from today.
A total of 21 cities and towns are getting the upgrade, including London, Leeds, Edinburgh and Norwich.
If you're a Sky VIP customer, you can get a 5G upgrade for free.
Sky VIP is a loyalty scheme that rewards long-term customers, is free to join, and also gets you access to exclusive screenings and sports events.
For non-VIP users, you'll have to purchase a 5G add-on – which is free for one month, and then £5 per month after that.
"We’re excited to be launching superfast 5G on the award-winning Sky Mobile network, and even more excited to be offering it free to all Sky VIP customers," said Sky Mobile's Paul Sweeney.
Sky has pledged to roll out 5G to a total of 50 UK "destinations" by summer 2020.
