Anyone Fancy REALLY superfast data

Anonymous
Not applicable
Whilst many on here are waiting for 3g let alone 4g, the tech boffins are already testing out 5g.

Fancy download speeds 65000 times the speed of 4g? That is the current testing rate although of course that is not with 25 million users.

Have a read. It makes interesting reading for the techs amongst us.

Very interesting although I think mobiles will have evolved out of recognition too in 5 years.

That could potentially make fibre redundant or at least get high speeds to the rural dead zones.

It would be fantastic if that happened, but there's one sentence in the article that brings out the sceptic in me:

"It remains to be seen whether it will be possible to replicate the speeds in real-world conditions."

 

Like many new things touted, the theory far surpasses the reality.

 

Having said that, in limited areas there is 1GB download broadband speed out there now.
