@the_termin8r your home has 5G???

the_termin8r · January 13, 2018, 4:16pm

Yeah, we’re on fiber optic. The laptops use 2g because they’re getting old but the phones and tablets are on 5g.

I think we’re talking about different things here. Just now when you mentioned 5G, I was thinking about the next generation mobile data connection type that they are planning, they said something about 5G would be more akin to wifi.

Ohooo! So what’s special?? Just the speed??

5g!!! ??? Sigh

5G gets you 100-120-ish but has a much shorter range. 2G gets you 50-60 but has a longer range. Old tech can’t receive 5G.

Ooh so just the speed thing?

the_termin8r · January 13, 2018, 5:12pm

Yeah, what else could you improve?

Honey8 · January 13, 2018, 5:16pm

Yea… that also has a point… okkay…

Yup I read somewhere that when they roll out 5G mobile data, they would need to install more antennas closer to each other cuz 5G has a shorter cellular range than 4G.
