> For me 5G has been absolutely wonderful. It made my connection at home about 2x faster than whatever we have at the city office. And about 50x faster than what I had at home before. Also much more stable latencies.
But why are you using 5G at home in the first place? Where are you that 5G actually outperforms your wired connection (accessed through WiFi)?
- tyrfing 5y agoIt's cheaper than fiber internet here. Costs less for the same bandwidth, without a contract and without data caps - unlike the wired option. Assuming the latency is usable, unlike 4G, it's starting to be a very competitive option. If you're stuck with 12mbps copper like some areas, it's a very obvious choice.
