Now, you just adding nonsense. He never said what you said. Btw, I already told you about how 3G was deployed back then yet you still ranting about how 5G havent reach the working speed. Thats why you are obviously just born yesterday. How many time do I need to tell you 5G initial speed wont be as its expected working speed. Duhh. Go back and read my explanation. You just a baby who dont even understand english. Where my statement contradicting itself? Show me!

    even your own statement is contradicting itself

Do you need 3G capable laptop to use 3G internet? Do you need 4G capable notebook to use 4G network? How do you think people use internet before smartphone exist? Did you just born yesterday or are you always this ignorant. 5G is not a scam. Saying it a scam is like saying 3G a scam. Did you know when 3G was introduced in 2008 the promised speed was only 1.2Mbps. The real life speed merely 259kbps. I wont expect 5G to give a flawless 1Gbps at its introduction. It takes years before the real promised speed is achieved.

                meanwhile, Nokia and Orange just started working on 5G;
                and on the otherhand companies allied since 2013 to make 5G with 1GB/s possible.

                    AT&T is up to its ol' marketing schemes again in order to combat Verizon's & T-Mobile's LTE-Advanced technology. They're calling it "5G" when in reality the speed still falls in the range of 4G LTE.

                    By AT&T using the term "5G" people will automatically think they're getting a faster service. This is similar to when they started calling their HSPA+ "4G" (It's faster than 3G but not quite pure 4G LTE).

                    So as usual, America is playing catch up again with Asian & Middle Eastern countries where real 5G is already being deployed & used.

                      Quick note to the poster of this news article.
                      1Gbps is defined as the 4G networks capability. Now, it's true that we never got a real 4G, but LTE instead and maybe that's why ppl think that 1 gigabit/s will be 5G, which is total non-sense.

                        Will the advent of 5G finally mean mast sharing so we can get better coverage and\or fewer masts. It's ridiculous that we should need 4 difervent masts for 4 different networks on the same buildings. Radio and TV adopted this decades ago.

                          In România 2 out of 4 operators have 300 , 350 Mbps on 4g+ ..What 5G is that..I don't know..And they named it already 5G😂

                              Will this be compatible with existing phones? What frequency bands? What is the range? Do they use carrier aggregation? On how many channels?

                              Is their 5G even based on LTE?

                              Or is AT&T doing the same thing they did when they had Apple to display a 4G logo whenever HSPDA was available?

                                What's the point - with their ridiculous plans, i'm sure they are using very small capacity of their 4G network. It's like buying a Ferrari and driving with 30 mps (But thinking the Ferrari is not enough and you need an even faster car).

                                    Is this essentially 4.5G already available in some Asian cities? Do we even have 5G enabled devices?
