5G is actually worse than 4G . Do you remember the promise of 5G ?

5G was supposed, it this amazing thing with this world-changing future. We are gonna have blazing-fast internet in our palms of our hands everywhere we go and there’s gonna be no latency anywhere. There’s gonna be doctors doing robot surgery halfway around the world with these magic gloves that connect via 5G like all this crazy stuff was gonna be promised. Nobody would ever wait for the buffering of a youtube video ever again and we would have, the metaverse would finally be real. All these promises of 5G and how it turned out yeah, none of that’s happened none of that’s true yet. Now not even that’s the hot take I know that you know, we understand that it takes time to build the infrastructure and it’s just not here yet like I saw a video couple of year ago now on the states of 5G and what that meant and I would go up to cell phone tower and I would get actually 1giga bite-per-second down but then you would walk around the corner or behind the tree and you would get fractions of that speed and it’s like okay clearly need a ton of those antennas to cover the entire world for that to be real possibility in near future and there’s no way that’s gonna happen quickly. That’s gonna require billions and trillions amount of money. So yeah, we are not there yet, Ok we get it. But what I’m trying to say is 5G right now is worse than 4G. It’s slower, it’s less consistent and it’s more expensive. I think we have seen a lot of carriers, especially here in the US for example, we have got T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T a lot of them especially AT&T are using the low-band 5G not even mid-band and low-band 5G can actually feel slower than 4G right now and on top of that there are all these weird shenanigans that they play with like the status bar in your phone I have seen on the iPhone like 4G, 4G+, 5G, 5GE, 5G+, UWB all these weird titles and none of them are particularly encouraging. I’ll get a 5G logo on the corner of my phone, I’ll do a speed test it will be slower than 4G. So 5g at this point has really turned into a thing that smartphone manufacturers can point at and be like “Look our phones are New, this is something that we did that’s different from last year ” But really all it ends up doing is making our phones more expensive cause those radios are more expensive, making our battery life worse because now if you don’t have 5G it’s switching back and forth and 5G is radio battery consuming and making our phones planes more expensive all at once while giving us not that much of a good experience.

So 5G sucks right now

I think also, expectations are the thief of joy and 5G really sucks because the expectations and the promises were like way up and we are nowhere near that, 5G is brutely bad.

Mmmm hopefully that changes, I wanna be an optimist, and I hope a lot of these things change to be honest but yeah those are my takes ‘from and for U.S 5G network’.
Thank you hope you like it.
