5G

[Alan Lung]

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.

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.

Re: 5G

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.

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?
