What is the deal with 5G? I have had a neighbor and a customer talk about it like it was the coming of the anti-Christ. They acted like I knew what they were talking about but I didn't have time to ask what they were concerned about.

The theory is that 5G emits radiation that alters/weakens our immune systems. The COVID outbreak coincided with worldwide roll out, thus it HAD to be a contributing factor in the pandemic.
5G isn’t new. Most of your home routers and devices have been 5G capable for 3-5 years.
Frankly I’ve been on beta 5G networks in Kansas City, Denver, Atlanta and Colorado Springs and it sucked. Poor reception and data was slightly faster than 3G speeds. Maybe those weren’t tuned networks and working optimally. But I wasn’t impressed

Instead of going 4g 5g 6g 7g 8g blah blah blah. Why dont we work on getting reliable AFFORDABLE internet to rural areas. And cell service in general and quit worrying about being faster.
Heck i have hughes net 5G supposedly or its capable in the future. Well all i got is about a 1/2G right now.Comment

When most people talk about 5G they are referring to the rollout and promise of blazing data speeds for the Cellular network and associated connectivity to the Internet via that technology from the cellular network. There is 2GHz and 5GHz technology for Wi-fi that your home router uses on the Local Network within the home that the smart phones can also use for data connection to the internet through the home router to save on your phone company data limits.Comment

So I just watched that video, sounds like everything they said about televisions and microwaves etc...when they first came out. I wonder if it is more of the same old same old.Comment

Pretty sure 5Ghz WiFi and 5G cellular are not quite the same thing.Comment

5 G cell just means 5th Generation and has nothing to do with frequency or amplitude or capacity of the cellular network... The concern is also because that chinee phone company Wa We or something like that is the largest manufacturer of this type of equipment and everyone (and the gubment seems to agree) seems to think it has imbedded spying capabilities for the chinee gubment...Comment

If that’s the case, why would they even contemplate using it? Seems like a foolish idea to me.Originally posted by SaltwaterSlick View Post
I’d be just fine without it but I’m afraid we’ll all be forced to use it in some capacity or another. I’m disliking technology more and more every day.Comment

That was educational, that's what I was looking for.Originally posted by Treeshark View PostComment

It's kind of a two birds with one stone deal. By rolling out 5g which has significantly lower latency while supporting incredibly faster speeds, households in rural areas will be able to do wireless networking via cell towers in lieu of needing a hard-line ran to every house. But I have to ask, why should the majority of the population and large corporations be concerned with supporting what's best for the minority (rural customers)?Originally posted by dclifton View PostComment
