I remember people saying it would be faster than most wired connections.
In: Engineering
The backlink of the cell tower itself is almost definitely a wired connection. Wireless is never going to beat the fastest wired connection of the same generation due to Shannon limit, which is the limit of how much information can be carried through a single physical medium.
When people say “would be faster than most wired connections”, they’re comparing it to the previous generation of wired connection. 5G is definitely faster than dial ups and early broadband, but the latest wired tech which is fiber is still easily much faster than 5G.
