- LatteLazy 4y agoNot sure why you say that? I am not convinced that 100x speed on fast 4G really makes any difference. But 5G is nice and I've never found 4G better? Im just a consumer these days though so...
- philliphaydon 4y agoI don't know what 4g is like in the US, in Asia it's about ~100mbit (I just ran a speed test and got 134mbit down, 24mbit up) That's far more than enough to stream 4k HRD content on my laptop tethering to the phone. 5g range is limited compared to 4g. 5g is more spotty and needs more direct line of sight. A 5g base station consumes 3x more power than a 4g base station. So 5g is more of a gimick than anything else. The reality is, is there isn't any material benefit over 4g.
