LG Uplus Corp. topped the list of the fastest 5G download among South Korean mobile carriers at 476.5 megabits per second (Mbps), a report by market researcher RootMetrics showed.
SK Telecom Co. came in second at 436.2 Mbps with KT Corp. placing third at 425.8 Mbps.
LG Uplus also provided the greatest accessibility to 5G in Seoul at 90.9 percent, compared with KT's 78.8 percent and SK Telecom's 71.3 percent during testings from Sept. 15 to Oct. 12.
South Korea does not offer standalone 5G and still requires support from 4G LTE.
RootMetrics noted that the new figures mark a vast improvement from last year when LG Uplus' median 5G download speed was at 426.4 Mbps, with SK Telecom at 286.9 Mbps and KT at 163 Mbps.
KT led 5G accessibility at the time at 45.6 percent, followed by LG Uplus at 44.6 percent and SK Telecom at 42.2 percent.
As of October, South Korea's 5G users were nearly 10 million, accounting for 14 percent of the country's total 70.3 million mobile subscriptions.
