Koodo here
I would say it's faster but not to the point where it's going to make a huge difference.
In terms of reliability, I don't see a difference.
Good example would be the first floor of Metrotown in either the T&T Supermarket or Toys R Us. I have zero reception when I'm inside those stores and that's with both 4g and 5g connections. Wife on the other hand with Fido, solid connection when inside both of those stores with 4g connection. | Coverage will vary from carrier to carrier and location to location. In Vancouver, Rogers/Fido typically has the upper hand, but it all depends on where you are, so your mileage may vary. Quote:

I don't know how real the 5Gs are here. When I was in HK 3 yrs ago, their 5G was epic fast. Seeing you pull up youtube with 1080p / 8 k and you can drag anywhere and it loads instantly. No delay, no loading required. Definitely can't do that when i test it here. | Regulation, rules and radio spectrum vary vastly in Canada vs. Asia. Agreed that speeds in Asia are lightning fast. 5G is still in it's infancy in North America, so it will be a while until we can get something comparable. I don't have any use cases that require 5G so I am okay with 4G speeds. It's a very different culture in Asia where people are watching videos in super high definition or gaming on mobile in the subway system. I'm more worried about getting shanked in the TTC or Skytrain than watching any videos on my phone. :inoutugh:
Then again, I'm using an iPhone 7, so...yeah. |
