MOBILE coverage in Scotland is still lagging behind the rest of the UK, a new report from Ofcom suggests.

The communications regulator found the country has the lowest proportion of 3G and second lowest proportion of 4G coverage from at least one network of all the UK nations.

Data provided by the UK’s four national 3G mobile network operators shows 99.6% of UK premises had outdoor coverage from at least one 3G network in May 2016, while the figure was 97.9% for Scotland.
