Maybe this Dish 5G thing is real after all

the latency on mine is at 1 millisecond. even though verizon says a 1 gig max it gets faster trust me that just depends on factors like how far away from the tower you are ect ect!!! i always hit higher speeds than a GB:):biggrin

You're getting 1 gbps off a cell phone tower? I'm calling BS.

Post a screenshot of an LTE speedtest

5G Fixed Wireless? How is it?

it's freaking sweet. i got the free modem and router and the router even has a spot for a home phone VOIP i got the apple tv 4 free and three months of youtube t.v. and the first three months are free then after that for me since my cell is with verizon it's 50.00 a month and for non verizon subs it's 70.00 a month wich is still a sweet deal considering what cable charges:coco!!! latency is for me like 1 millisecond and i have a tower across the street from me and i always hit over gig DL speeds most of the time it's between 1,45 to 5 GB'S down. it's pretty crazy:rolleyes:. ever download a full fledged 4k movie under 4 seconds:biggrin. they will also need to install an antenna on your home like a satellite dish and put a box thing on the outside of your home as well.. compared to spectrum it's f**king awsome!!!! it felt great giving them the two middle fingers:amen. though we will see how sweet it is when it rains out here if it ever does as i was reading the 5G signal is more fragile than 4G and that's why 5G needs all them little towers around it as well since there milimeter waves

So are you in some kind of Verizon test market?

Edit: I answered my own question: The 5G revolution is coming. Here's everything you need to know

The article states that Verizon isn't using the previously agreed-upon industry standards for "5g" and is doing their own thing.

Where does the backhaul for these home broadband 5g sites come from? In order to broadcast a 1gbps signal, you have to have it at the tower location to begin with.

I can't seem to find any definitive answers about what "5g" really is, as far as frequencies used, the type of tower equipment being deployed, and the industry standards agreed upon.

It seems like a free-for-all.

yea i'm in a test verizon test market
i myself have no idea what verizon is using as far as industry standards go. it seems like verizons keeping alot of secrets from the consumer
i guess the backhaul would come from a cable co or some fiber provider unless verizon is doing there own thing with backhauls who knows
i am gonna have to keep fishing around on the internets to look and see the specs on 5g though i have noticed it's being kept a secret by all of the carriers and everyone!!!

I'm also curious to know how big the backhaul pipe really is. As we all know, current LTE speeds are significantly slowed when lots of people are accessing the tower. For instance, I can routinely test and receive 60mbps on the Verizon tower behind my house at 2AM. But between 8-10 PM, that can slow to 4mbps.

I think this attachment is key. VZW admits they are using 3GPP in their home broadband test markets. That's why its advertised as 300mbps- it has the same limitations LTE does.

me to i want to know how big the backhaul pipe is to. i want to know what's gonna happen when were all on 5G and it's taxing the system??? i also want to know what it's gonna be like in winter and rain since the 5G signal is more fragile than 4G that's why they need all of them tingys all over town every 30 miles apart i belive. when i had my 4G lte jet pack i could never get over 34 mbps and most of the time it would be more like 20 mbps
