Don't expect quantum leap on 5G. It is more like WiFi on larger scale. Like Wifi, weak signal slower speed. It is using mm wave like from which most likely from 5GHz to 30GHz. Many said that 5GHz WiFi distance is bad easily blocked and it is the same for 5G.
Most practical usage is in shopping complex. The distance between base station has to be nearer. Therefore, in rural area, I'd say 5G is less likely than 4G. |

QUOTE(terradrive @ Nov 8 2021, 10:58 AM) 5G has many bands, the slowest 5G band offers like current faster 4G band speeds but at the range of slow 4G. I wanted 5G so bad for the latency reduction because freaking unifi don't wanna give me a box even when I offered to pay for it (closest box is just 200m away and full) The 4G speed is defined at 100Mbps but our average is around 20Mbps only. The lowest band of 5G is 700MHz band assigned by MCMC and will only have 2x30Mbps if not mistaken. So, the real world speed is probably not even half that speed when it is shared among users I believe. lznce2679 liked this post
