What’s your 5g speed like?

[dirky dirk]

I’ve just done a test in the back garden
It varies from 1068 mbs to 1019mbs
Surely thst cant be right?
I can remeber the web via the phone and get 28,800 kbs?

Seems fast that

Reliability to me is more important than speed

It’s witchcraft

(802.11ax WiFi is running 1024QAM. The constellation diagram is…impressive)

5G is super location dependent. It doesn’t travel well over distance or terrain or go through walls. On the flip side it is really fast. That’s progress for you.

28,800 bits/second, no kb/s

I remember 300 baud acoustic couplers all too well, but even now I can't explain the difference between baud and bit per second.

5G non-existant pretty much by me still unless i head in to a city.

Mostly 200-300 Mb there unless you are right by a mast and then 800+.

4G around here is about 120 Mbps down and 55 up so quicker than FTTC anyway.

5G is location dependent, I live half way up a tower block & receive great speeds phone & broadband.

5G is an absolute farce unless you sat in a position that gives you high speeds and doesn't drop.

I've found it completely unreliable for Zoom calls, videos, data transfer, pretty much anything. It's great while the signal is up and strong but as soon as it gets interrupted that's it.

I've actually turned 5G off on my phone unless I know I have a large amount of data to transfer and I'm literally sat under a Mast.

How this network can be used as intended for vehicles and Autonomous driving is beyond me. It would need masts every 30m odd.

O/P... you're 'avin a larf

5G? As if.

My Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G has this for its 5G modem specs.

"The X65 modem inside the Note 20 Ultra has a theoretical max speed of 10Gbps, while the X55 modem in the Note 20 Ultra tops out at 7.5Gbps over 5G"

I've seen 250Mbps on 4G+ sat in a traffic jam on the M25 but never seen that since.
