The difference between 2G, 3G, 4G

When we are talking about coverage we must understand the difference is the level of connectivity. 2G, 3G and 4G. Sky offers all three speeds to all the Sky customers, 2G has a very low speed of internet however it still serves a purpose by allowing consumers to check emails and send pictures. 3G is a step ahead of 2G because it allows users to browse on social media, watch videos and stream music. 4G gives you everything that 3G does plus playing online games and at a much faster speed.

Now that we have established the different levels of speed, let's look at how much coverage sky has in the UK. Sky coverage covers the whole of the United Kingdom and parts of Northern Ireland. In the places that have coverage indoors and outdoors have strong wifi connection and 4G network. Places such as Leeds, Manchester and even Belfast they have access to 4G superfast speed wifi connection.

Sky mobile network problems

Unfortunately Sky network does not reach out to the south of Ireland so that may be a problem for potential customers. Hopefully in the future Sky will provide coverage for these areas. Although the network is strong and reliable there are several factors that are out of Sky's control, for example, the bad weather; if it is raining heavily then this will affect the quality of a video call. If you are underground or in a building that has thick walls it can affect the signal, however that is an easy fix. Simply just head out of the building to get better service. Also it is important to know that if you are in a festival or a sports event this will affect your network/signal because of everyone using their mobiles phones at the same time. Sky offers their target audience helps on the Sky website with information about the best way to prevent these problems.

Understanding the Sky mobile network is the best advice to take from this blog. Sky customers should feel they know the carrier and what they can provide to its audience. Therefore, Sky mobile gives its consumers great services with the network they provide and also an understanding about its coverage details. It is an efficient carrier and will give value to its specific Sky customers.
