O2 Slovakia has expanded its network infrastructure, achieving 77.9 percent 5G coverage by the end of June, up from 70.1 percent at the end of last year. This expansion now includes 1,426 cities and towns, with 417 new locations added in 2024 alone. O2 said its 5G network enables users to enjoy high speeds and stable connections, which is why it is investing in the deployment of 5G coverage. Switching to a higher speed means an even better user experience for data, listening to music, or watching movies and videos.
