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?
It's all bollocks to rip everyone off
What's wrong with reading a book or going for a walk ?
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.
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
I thought 5G was supposed to take over and kill us all?
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
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
