I remember people saying it would be faster than most wired connections.
In: Engineering
in certain areas, 5g *is* faster than my 500mbps cable connection at home
which is to say over 600mbps on att
that I can frequently get 100mbps down driving 85mph down the fwy is a technological miracle if one thinks about it
Because the telecoms companies place a lower density of 5g antennas than they did with 4g, so the extra theoretical speed and capacity is instead converted to shareholder dividends.
My 5G with outside router gets me like 800Mbps speed, but there are many things that can affect it from distance, angle, tower technology and of course router/antenna. Also had issues at beginning with the speed but isp told me to change one address in the router which 3x my speeds. Soo ELI it is that fast.
Because most of the bandwidth is actually used by bill gates to control the vaccine microchips.
I just tested it in my room and I’m getting 70 meg on my home WiFi, and 680 meg on 5g. So it’s pretty fast.
I’ve gotten over 1gb/s when I’ve done a speedtest, but I was also sitting 20 meters from the cell tower. Still felt awesome 😁
Depends on your carrier and location if you are going to get wired speeds. I’ve consistently had a 1GB+ down for the last few months. Uploads on the other hand are likely never going to touch fiber.
Advertised internet speeds are always given as a theoretical maximum. “In optimal conditions it is possible to get *up to* X speed.” Real-world conditions are never optimal. The tower you’re on is saturated with devices. There’s a bottleneck upstream. The weather is bad. The air is polluted. Et cetera.
Marketing can’t be trusted. That’s the long and short of it. Never ever trust an ad, a sponsored egment, or sponsored “news” articles touting how great whatever new tech is.
5G networks arent finished yet. Current 5G networks have been built on top of 4G and rely on it for some of their functionality. 5G reaches its full potential only after the network has been fully upgraded to 5G and it no longer needs 4G to work.
Once 5G networks are fully operational they can theoretically reach speeds of 10-20Gb/s.
