Why is the network so slow?

This network is the slowest I have ever experienced. Why is it so slow but boasts 5G speeds?

I have read a few posts which all mention the same problems.

      I can't even get over 00.13 mbs on Three/Smarty and though this is faster than vodafone, which are totally useless, this low speed is not good enough to open most websites or even check mail. Smarty Three are extremely slow in the city im in.

        ThreeAreSlow The fact that both 3 and Vodafone don't work well in your area suggests a 'dead spot' for mobile signal. Might be interesting to see if EE is any better I suppose, but not much else you can do really.
