My understanding was that 5G isn’t just a speed improvement, it’s latency etc as well. But, no, I don’t feel limited by my cellphone being on LTE. That being said 5G opens a lot of doors: my home internet connection is 5G now, I pull around 500Mbps with not particularly awful/noticeable latency.
- lxgr 3y agoOne important factor is that the efficiency gains of each new mobile radio generation increase total usable throughput per MHz, which matters a lot in times of heavy simultaneous use. A lot of the gains with each new generation come from increased spectral usage per device (more MHz, more spatial streams etc, i.e. making each device use more of a given pipe), but some of the improvements are also usually making better use of each MHz (better modulation schemes, MU-MIMO, less overhead etc.)
