I'm stuck in a Travelodge in a motorway services tonight. My phone is telling me I'm connected via 5G. The service is completely shit, I don't see any difference from 3G. Is this really the way forward?
I read or heard recently that 5G NW/phones aren't as good as 4G.Originally Posted by Alan Lung
It sounds a bit like when the Windows Millennium Edition was released for PCs, absolute shite and a new version followed soon after.
All a racket if you ask me.
It's all bollocks to rip everyone off
What's wrong with reading a book or going for a walk ?
Where the fcuk am I going to walk to on the edge of the M4 you daft prannet?
An awful lot of '5G' masts are basically dual bonded 4G, so are using old technology in order to appear like 5G and give 5g like speeds.
When true 5G comes online they'll need quite a few more masts, albeit physically smaller, to cope with 5g's higher frequencies as the radio waves won't travel as far / penetrate buildings as well as lower frequencies.
How about walk to the services to buy a book?
we are still a fair way away from having 5G in the UK
When this nonsense is fully up and running they will becsaying stop using that something else is better and faster
And more expensive
And you silly lemmings will suck it all up
Go and have a wnak you daft sod. Leave the serious stuff to the grownups.
PS: how's Dublin?
You'd complain if it was slow and you couldn't watch your porn.
4 or 5 years ago I spent hours trying to buy an FM/AM radio - practically laughed at in the shops. DAB was the 'future', and you'd better get with it. Forget west Wales, there are spots in Cardiff itself where you can't get a signal !
I thought 5G was supposed to take over and kill us all?
Parts of Cardiff where you can't get am or fm ?
Radio Wales on DAB is useless
But on old school am fm radio with a dial ?
I could pick up radio Wales in Manchester and Bradford
its fine on mine
No, DAB.
It's crap when you're driving in and out all the way, terrible past Caerphilly into valleys and Gloucester way it goes again, a waste of time to be fair, pretty good in Cardiff though.
Poor DAB.
5G is shocking in Cardiff on Vodafone. Can barely get any data in Canton with phone showing 5G. I also find I can be connected to 5G, do a speed test and get decent numbers but no actual internet.
A friend of mine was with me one time and they had an EE connected phone and he was getting great speeds and data transfer while mine couldn't load a page.
I find if I'm listening to the radio on the phone and the signal changes to 5G I get disconnected.
If it drops to 3G I lose connection as well.
I'm considering dropping vodafone when my contract is next up as it's so frustrating, and I've been with them for years and years
A friend of mine was with me one time ?
Is this Florida ?
You all seem to miss out mentioning 4G.....I am one of those strange people who actually does NOT use a mobile phone(!!).
However, my internet connection is 4G....including Amazon Firestick. There are four of us using at the same time without any problems.......good enough for me to be able to stream 'things'....my wife to watch Thai TV...and my two sons to use Roblox and MInecraft!!!
5g is more about greater bandwidth allowing you to run more devices than speed really.
helps me every time
How does that work when it's mainly for mobile internet, so one phone connected to the network via a SIM?
