The successor to today\u2019s 4G LTE cellular network, 5G (NR) promises to revolutionise the way we connect to the internet<\/a>.<\/p>\n 5G offers numerous benefits over today\u2019s standard network, including the promise of an insane speed upgrade compared to 4G. The hype is huge.<\/p>\n That sounds great but why can\u2019t I use it yet?<\/p>\n 5G service isn\u2019t available anywhere yet, and when it does start showing up (probably starting in mid to late 2019 in the USA), the rollout will be limited.<\/p>\n Here are a few reasons why it\u2019s taking a while to roll out 5G.<\/p>\n The technology behind 5G is developed. We know what the standard will look like and how it will work. But it takes time and lots of money to scale the technology. Once the standard and specifications are established, electronics manufacturers have to develop the chips that go into our smartphones, figure out how to produce them at a cost-effective level, and scale up production so they can produce millions of them in a short timespan. And the same process goes for the technology needed for upgrades to mobile phone towers, support systems, and every other piece of the infrastructure puzzle.<\/p>\n Best plan for 1-2 people<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n *For first 6 mths with BINGE25<\/p>\r\n Then reverts to $76\/mth<\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n Typical busy period download speed (7pm to 11 pm)<\/p>\r\n *Speeds may be lower on FTTN\/B, FTTC<\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n Scaling the underlying tech<\/strong><\/h2>\n
