5G+ usage adds a second measure

The coverage figure gives BT Group's mobile network expansion a measurable scale, while the traffic figure adds evidence of customer use. The company said EE remained on track toward 99.00 percent population coverage by the end of March 2030, and it plans to trial AI-RAN on live network sites in Birmingham next year, according to BT Group. That combination puts network reach and capacity alongside the group's fiber investment program.

The latest available quote was EUR 2.54, while the London listing closed at GBp 211.80 on October 23, 2026. The primary exchange is the London Stock Exchange, where the share traded in pence.

Results date and valuation

BT Group's investor calendar lists first-half fiscal 2027 results for November 5, 2026, giving the network update a near-term reporting checkpoint. The London-listed share had a price-to-earnings ratio of 13.03 and a market capitalization of GBP 20.6 billion as of October 23, 2026. Its dividend yield was 4.00 percent on that date.

Network investment remains measurable

BT Group said its 5G+ network reached more than 80.00 percent of the UK population after just over two years of operation. It also reported a 2.80 gigabits-per-second microwave link, 40.00 percent above its previous 2.00 gigabits-per-second benchmark, according to BT Group. For the stock, the next test is whether network expansion and rising data use translate into the financial measures due on November 5, 2026.
