    The reason you think that is because you’ve never been to China. No city’s average 5G speeds is as low as 150MB.

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/1290784/china-5g-download-speed-by-province/#:~:text=As of the first quarter,5G infrastructure development progressed rapidly.

    The problem is you’re using YOUR countries poor excuse for 5G as a reason to say it’s inferior.

    Maybe if your country didn’t ban Huawei, the creators of 5G you wouldn’t think it’s an inferior product.

      What does a ban on a company has to do with 5G towers? Other companies cant make 5G towers?

        Maybe try reading the articles I posted. In the second one, Eric Schmit from Google explains the problem. Essentially Huawei’s 5G covers more spectrums than western ones. So you’ll never get the full performance from western 5G making people like you think 5G is inferior when it’s really the poor implementation.

          The article doesn’t state that at all actually. It just says, according to SpeedTest, China has deployed more of the spectrum already where as the US is only rolling out mid-band frequencies (as of 15 months ago). It says nothing about China having special frequencies not available to the US, nor does it (incorrectly) state that Huawei invented 5G.

          You’re probably not familiar with the landscape of the US, but much of the country is rural which is why we have more users per tower since it isn’t financially advantageous for companies to roll out new towers where few people can use them.

            … you don’t understand at all. I am not going to be able to explain it to you. There are no special spectrums. US equipment can only do mid band where as Huawei can also do high and low. That’s the problem. There’s no magic that you seem to think there is.

            *Edit. Also this has nothing to do with how many towers there are. The towers near the airports were always there. Yet they interfered because USA can only do mid band. Had they been able to do low band there wouldn’t have been issues.
