At all three airports, EE came out on top with superior download and upload speeds as well as excellent reliability. Vodafone came second at London Gatwick and London Heathrow, and O2 came second at London City.

Our testing at London City showed impressive performances from multiple operators, especially EE, which recorded the fastest median download and upload speeds, while winning its third consecutive mobile internet RootScore award to date at a UK airport.”
