The Ofcom report comes amid a string of attacks on British 5G base stations due to conspiracy theories being published on social media amid the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.
159 5G operator masts were attacked by Brits in 2020 over COVID-19 conspiracy theories, leading to roughly 170,000 hours of network downtime, UK telecoms regulator Ofcom wrote in a report this week.
Ofcom's Connected Nations report found that vandals in the UK had launched an unprecedented number of attacks on British 5G infrastructure due to the unproven conspiracy theories.
