I’ve heard multiple issues with 5G, like range and stuff, effectively sacrificing range and reliability for even more speed just so that companies can market it better. Do you think 5G is a downgrade compared to 4G?
Well, the 5G signal itself is better.
It is different from 4G, so it does require reevaluating infrastructure placement.
The same thing happened with 4G. It is weaker than 3G, but faster.
Same thing with 5Ghz wifi. It is weaker, but faster, than 2.4Ghz.
A motorcycle gets better gas mileage, more nimble, and less space than a car or truck. But there is a lot you can’t haul on a motorcycle.
I don’t feel it’s a downgrade at all. I get nearly as good download as my home connection and significantly faster upload. Never had any issues with 5G or 5G UC. T-mobile and iPhones.
The problem is true 5G is high frequency and very low range, requiring towers everywhere. Also realistically we don’t even need these speeds on mobile devices, what it should’ve been is a better 4G with more reliability and better performance in crouded areas.
The problem is most services advertising 5G don’t actually meet 5G specifications.
It’s cool though, because the same thing happened with 4G and 3G.
A lot of it not only depends on your provider, but the cell tower you connect to.
5G at my home is trash tier, but it doesn’t matter because I’m on WiFi at home.
20.2 down, 0.37 up. :(
It’s better if you aren’t vaxxed, if you are there is a big chance you are getting irradied with it and you become into a mind-less 5G controlled robot, if you aren’t vaxxed just enjoy better speeds and service quality.
