Welcome to 2021. Let's hope this year is better.
Now, on with the show.
I was in the Portland, Oregon area recently, and I noticed my phone said I had 5G data service.
So I thought I'd test that out. I used Ookla's SpeedTest app on my phone. And I tested the speed at 5G. Here's the results:
(Download is the first number, upload is the second number. Units are in Mbps.)
The download number is similar to what I get on my WiFi at home (I have very fast broadband internet with fiber optics).
The upload speed on 5G is awful. But, in reality, who really cares? It's download we want.
Later, I was on LTE (still in the Portland area) so I speed tested that:
Which had even worse upload speeds and, of course, download speeds did not match 5G.
Verizon has a "5G Ultra Wideband" in select areas of select cities. I want to try that when I can.
What is your experience with 5G. Have you tried it? Let me know in the comments below.
