Coverage analysis — NR8

Drawing on Ofcom Connected Nations 2024 premises coverage statistics, EE is the clear winner in Norwich. In this mixed urban-rural area, EE achieves an overall coverage score of 82/100 — driven by good 5G coverage (66%) and rock-solid 4G at 99%. 5G and 4G scores are closely matched, reflecting a mature, stable network.

EE noticeably leads Three by 7 points overall. While Three reaches 52% on 5G and 100% on 4G in Norwich, it falls short of EE's combined performance across all bands. O2 and Vodafone round out the field at 74 and 70 respectively.

Why EE for NR8?

EE has made solid 5G inroads across Norwich, reaching 66% of premises in NR8. While not blanket coverage, most streets and town centres are covered — and 4G fallback at 99% keeps reliability high throughout.

The runner-up in NR8 is Three at 75/100 (52% 5G / 100% 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.
