Why EE for FY6?
EE has made solid 5G inroads across Blackpool, reaching 69% of premises in FY6. While not blanket coverage, most streets and town centres are covered — and 4G fallback at 99% keeps reliability high throughout.
The runner-up in FY6 is Three at 81/100 (51% 5G / 98% 4G). The margin is noticeable but not enormous. EE edges ahead on 5G depth; if your plan is with Three, 4G performance should still be solid.
