Hi everybody,
Currently in some countries, people are already using 5G network technology. I haven't had the chance to test this technology yet. So I want to ask everyone what does 5G have for us? Who has had the chance to experience 5G can you tell me?
Thanks very much.

Call me old and may be dumb but I don't understand why 5G is termed as revolutionary and all? I mean, isn't it just faster speeds compared to 4G as 4G was as compared to 3G ? Or may be I am missing something.

5G does not only mean higher speeds. It also means better connectivity, lower congestion. Think of it this way. 15 devices are connected to an access point which is throttling everyone's experience, now you upgrade the access point and it now has capability of handling over 100 devices at once. That is what 5G will do, so less dropouts and better signal strength + higher speeds.

In India, connection dropout is very common plus speeds vary a lot, that will be reduced by a significant margin by 5G. It's a quality of life improvement just like Wifi 6.

What will 5g bring?

Panic among our janata to opt for 5g phones even without realizing 4g yet isn't working truly 4g!
Needless phone upgrades among youths just for flashing or status purpose.
Lots of plan offers from telecom providers.
More brands (chinese ones) in a hurry will push a lot of budget 5g phones which may not offer perfect blend of performance, 5g speed and battery etc.

Personally, even though there may be hurdles, I am most looking forward to last mile 5g fixed wireless access, also called 5g home broadband.

It promises high speeds to rival fiber to the home which in my home only bsnl is the sole option and not much interest shown by others to come to my area mainly due to wiring challenges.

Breadboard is fine but for wireless it will be the usual hurdles for at least 6 months initially.
