Unnecessary they just roll out 4g with better coverage and it’s plenty fast enough.

What the internet speed has to do with crypto currency mining? You just need a reliable connection, and fast GPU or CPU(or ASIC)…

I’m already getting crazy speeds on my moto z2 since my last update which increased the data speeds . Immediately after my data speed went from 50 or so gbps to well over 140 at minimum

There’s still plenty of life left in 4G LTE-Advance. We can get great speeds there. I really hope the USA Mobile Network Operators don’t screw up advertising this time & mis-educate consumers like they did with 3G-HSPA calling it 4G. Cos it ain’t. 4G is LTE. 5G will be NR.

Wasn’t the Segway hype that people thought it would be a true hoverboard?

Another reason to never give away a super premium phone for free with ads is that people can root/jailbreak it and remove that stuff.

Most 4G LTE modems today, support up to a PHY rate of 1 gigabit download speeds, but the PHY rate means nothing if real world speeds are effectively half the PHY rate in best case, but cell providers offer such slow service that none of the improvements have done anything to improve the real world experience.

What I don’t understand is my modem given to me by my internet provider says 5G on it. I’m not really up on tech, but I thought 5G was still like 3 years away or something. As in the actual way 5G will work, hasn’t be ironed out yet to even make a product.
