Someone on my town Facebook page complaining about not having any options for internet (Comcast only in our town) and someone chimes in not to worry because wired internet is dead and everyone should just 4G through T-Mobile SMH
And yall don't think those ultra high powerful radio waves have ANY potential health concerns on us?...
someone does not realize that wires feed all that cool wireless stuff
Cool, some shithead talking about technology like they have a clue. I'm sure someday wireless tech will eclipse wired, but we aren't near that yet. When the telcos are completely commoditized and not prioritizing traffic, or throttling after a dozen or so gigs, MAYBE there will be a shift.
I don't have a data cap and I have a 1gbps line to my house in the US. I pay about 100 bucks a month.
I just rewired a 40 year old house with Cat6 so the APs on both ends are optimal and media center wired in. Very relevant even with wireless. Repeaters are not efficient.
I just wanna say every employees home network setup that comes across my desk for approving their WFH that states they have 5G home internets instantly gets flagged as a concern.
We use an onsite EMR and the firewall is fine but the EMR if a single packet is lost craps the bed. I don’t trust that aspect of the home internet yet. I’m willing to set them up on our employee remote server but 5G home networking is just abysmal in so many ways.
They milked the old copper for decades but they are going to abandon the brand new fiber? They are still installing coaxial and twisted pair. In 100 years we will still be patching into old Comcast coxial build outs.
I mean there's a new fiber company that just started rolling out in my town.
Why is the city some kind of secret?
Why would you care about it? It’s the same reason I blocked out the name of the poster, for a bit of privacy. It’s all small town and it’s none of your business where it is
How the hell des he think the towers that provide 1 to 5g receive the bandwidth? In the imortal words of that smart mouthed scholor, Bugs Bunny, "what a maroon".
Wait until they find out that all their 5G signals are powered by a fiber/coaxial backend, depending on where they live 😂
And satellite is worse than cable or fiber, it only exists for remote places that don’t have that option.
What they don’t understand is that 90% of wireless communication goes over wired connectivity at some point. This guy clearly doesn’t understand the internet.
Plus my fiber can get 1000/1000 with less than 10ms of latency. Good luck with your 5G buddy.
China is starting to roll out their 6G already which promises 100Gbit/sec. By the time the rest of the world gets its from a other vendors China will already have over 2 million towers upgraded to the system, just like what happened with 5G.
