That's true, or in cases of in-network m2m communication of course. 5Ghz is still faster, you just can't utilize it if your internet speed is slow. It's like saying a Ferrari isn't faster than an old VW Beetle because the speed limit is only 25. Technically correct.
- natch 5y agoIf you want analogies, it’s the ISP provides a VW (connection speed), but it’s towing a Tesla Model S (which is way quicker than a Ferrari btw). Then someone comments about how the ISP is mixing and muddying the two, and some replies start going into all the technical details of how the Tesla is quick and why. Technically correct, but clueless because it’s the VW that is the problem.
- axaxs 5y agoFair rewording, but the point remains. 5Ghz is faster than 2.4Ghz. That a person can't take advantage of it because of their ISP is irrelevant to that statement. If the statement were, 'hey, if you want faster internet, use 5Ghz', well then it would only sometimes be true and such analogies apply. I can see where we're getting off track. Person A) ISPs are telling people use 5Ghz to get faster internet. Person B) 5Ghz is faster because 2.4Ghz is noisy. Person C) Well, 5Ghz is faster regardless of noise. Person D) Not if your internet is slow. So, seems we're all answering something else. I'm expanding on B alone, and you on A-C, I think.
- natch 5y agoYep, you got off track. B doesn’t matter in this picture. It’s 2.4GHz btw not 2.4Ghz, and it’s a range from 2.4 to 2.5 with 2.45GHz as the midpoint, and noise varies according to where in that range you are and what’s around. But again it doesn’t matter as it’s not the bottleneck here, so yeah, off track. Yawn.
