Most sites have fibre backhaul now. And then point to point wireless can do 10gig+ these days anyway to a tower that does have fibre backhaul.

- askvictor 9y agoEven with fibre, it wouldn't take many users on the theoretical capacity of 5g to saturate the uplink.
- Retric 9y ago5g is shared bandwidth from ~20Gbps download 10gbps upload, increasing the number of users over a minimum does not increase peak bandwidth just utilization. Considering multiple carriors would each have 20gbps and there are ~200,000 cell towers in the US we are talking massive bandwidth in aggregate.
