It feels like every few months there’s a new tech “revolution” being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.

5G, all phone carriers in my country promises gigabit speeds but in my tests results shows slower speeds than current 4G and coverage is worse
From what I understand, 5G was first about increased capacity. Increased speed was a secondary point. It optimizes how multiple users can share the same bands, and adds use of higher frequency bands that don’t propogate as far. So for very high congestion areas, they can deploy smaller cells and which each can maintain higher speeds per user. I think the “faster” part was just marketing to get users to buy into the new technology. I mean I think that was the intent. Something about the implementation needs tuning though.
that technology doesn’t even make sense
It ain’t just your country… 5g speeds marketing was total bullshit.
So if that was the lie… Why did they shill it so hard?
Works great here with almost 100% coverage
