It is just nice to see a city in South Carolina not named Charleston get something cool for once.

I think Motorola made one.

But no one has a 5g phone. And the phone companies are going to frick you when you try to get one, because that's what they do.

You'll have to pay off your 4g phone, pay off your 4g contract, pay a 5g contract upgrade fee, pay a 5g phone upgrade fee, pay more monthly for 5g, and the phone itself will be a couple grand and because it's brand new it'll break within a year and the battery will die with no way to replace it and it wont be covered by any warranty.

Let me know when they come up with a speed that has no buffer issues when I’m trying to stream sport events. It’s 2018 and videos still buffer every 10 seconds

We’ve had it Memphis for awhile now.

No way I could ever go back to 4g.

I just got an IPhone X so I am out for 5G. I assume they will sell some USB devices with the Qualcomm chipset.

Some natives of NOLA will read this and assume 5Gs is $5k and probably an amount related to some activity which the IRS will never get a penny.

Not sure if there are 28GHz phones out there right now.

We use MTP phones currently in the lab, or non-public phones the carrier provides.

More times then not, you won't see 5G in the public network unless it's late at night and you are extremely close to the nested sites for testing in the maintenance window.

Carriers (esp Verizon) absolutely hate having real network traffic on test sites during peak hours.
