- Dig1t 4y agoDo you play video games at all? I imagine the latency is much worse on 5G vs fiber. Have you noticed that?
- yardstick 4y agoJust did a speedtest.net run on my 5G link- 14ms ping, 1ms jitter, 500Mbit/s downlink. It’s pretty good.
- secondcoming 4y agoIt’s definitely worse, you’re not going to get single digit pings. That said, I used play Battlefield a fair bit on it and it was largely fine but crapped out occasionally.
- abdullahkhalids 4y agoWhen my wifi breaks while playing Dota 2, I quickly USB tether my phone and use my mobile internet to continue playing the same game. Even with 3G connections, I only get an additional 10-15 ms of latency.
- 13of40 4y agoI use 5G a lot when I'm "working from home", and my area has pretty good coverage. The one thing I've noticed is that unlike LTE there doesn't seem to be a correlation between connection quality and bandwidth. I can have a full 5G connection indicator on my phone in some places, but get slower speed than if I switch to 4G/LTE. I'm guessing my phone shows the connection quality to the local 5G node, but can't tell me when that node's uplink is degraded.
