Which isn't really even 4G from what I understand.

Man you're edgy? How about you go back to 2G then?

I'll see your response post in 45 minutes when it loads.

You'll like 5G if it performs as expected and can be a viable ISP for your home to replace Cox

I lived most of my life without a cell phone so I think I could survive being on 2G again.

That little icon ain't shite. It's been popping up when you come off the spillway into Kennah for almost a year now. They are testing the Icon.

Supposedly 5G is an upgrade to LTE.

AT&T doesn't have 5G yet. Only Verizon does and only in about 10 cities in certain areas of the city. And then you have to have a 5G capable phone in order to get 5G. If you have all that and are close to a node, you can pull down over 1gb.

Idk what the differences are between Verizon and ATT’s 5G, but I certainly have it now and when i was in Austin earlier this year.

They did in Houston when I was there about a month ago. Noticed the 5G icon on my phone so I ran speedtest and got 60+ MBPS download

That's not 5g. It's just the Icon. My S9+ shows the Icon all over Nola.

And FWIW 50mb down is not uncommon on LTE in Nola and Br.

I have the 5Ge. Does the little "e" stand for Extra slow?

On the flip side, I now have 2 bars where I usually have 1 so that is an improvement.
