I get 500 Mbps on 5G home Internet on a bad night. I would still take fiber over 5G any day, but it can be much better than you’ve seen.
Comment on Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating
RGB3x3@lemmy.world 8 months agoI live in the US in a pretty large city and I would never even think to replace my fiber with 5G. I’ve never seen 5G get above 25 Mbps, when I was getting those speeds with COAX 10 years ago.
I pay for 1Gbps fiber now and will never go lower.

Damn, really? That’s actually shocking and impressive.

I wish I had fiber. I get 100 Mb from T-Mobile 5g and 80 from spectrum. I’ve had two significant gaps in coverage from T-Mobile, but I also had internet during a power outage with a generator and an extension cord, which was huge.
For 50$, I’ll take that over a more consistent 80mb for 100-120$.
Definitely a rural thing, less 5g congestion and all. a physical line makes way more sense in a city, ideally fiber, but 5g internet has a pretty big niche.
