I can video call people in good quality on 4g. I don’t see why I need 5g anytime soon.

are there ANY actual advantages to all this 5g poo poo (higher data rate to consumer devices doesn't count, at this point that's like selling 8k tvs) or is it entirely a marketing thing to get people to buy new phones

well there's to flavors of 5g
one is good for "you're in a stadium and 60,000 people are trying to use the same cell site" or similar. literally only useful in crowded outdoor settings where line of sight is doable
one is good for extending network coverage at pedestrian speeds

im a fucking monster

my uncle works for the G company and he gave me a special phone that can do everything up to 8G.

i'm not allowed to show it to anyone though because a kid in japan 8G'd his sister and she died

5G in macro environments using normal spectrum is like 25% faster than 4G in ideal circumstances lol

new frequencies means it's less congested, people get higher speeds at first. then when we all move over the limitations of a shared medium mean we're almost back where we started

the current installation of law enforcement radios are the last ones that will not be on 5G.

We will be moving to a shared network where cops can commandeer tower capacity for whatever they want, cutting off ordinary people from access.

That has huge benefits in a protest situation.
