I’ve yet to hear one reason for why anyone needs 5G, let alone a reason for why you’d even want it.
I’ve found it quite perplexing (bordering on annoying) that phone companies are getting away with so much BS marketing around 5G. I guess they’re just that desperate for something new to sell. 5G is useless to the average consumer, in my estimation.
- DoingIsLearning 7y agoI am no expert in the topic but I believe the issue with 4G versus 5G for the carriers is one of capacity more than any other marketing argument. Using the example one of the replies mentioned, you are able to stream 1080p video over the network but that's because the majority of the network users are not using 4G. Once everyone (or the majority of users) has a 'heavy-usage' profile then, over a 4G network you would likely need to throotle during peak usage periods.
