Last week, I tried out MTN'S 5G network and I was able to download a 2GB movie in 19 seconds as opposed to 5 mins on 4G LTE. However, as I said in my video, while the 5G speed test might not translate to real-world usage, it does give a clear insight as to what to expect with 5G in Nigeria.

shogsman:
A friend in Chicago said he's getting around 1.9gig per second, but I know it can't happen in Nigeria.

AlphaStyles:
yes which means I have to keep spending money on data continuously

ecclize:

bros is swear glo 500mb is better than MTN 1.5gb

olaric:
While 5G is welcome because it means progress; for the consumer out there, a lot to worry about. 5G compatible phones, cost of buying data, insincerity on the part of the carriers {selling us 4G instead of 5G} etc.

nedekid:

Which state u de?

shogsman:

The UK,CHINA,USA have adopted it, so what's your point exactly.

seunmohmoh:
1 GB will finish in 5 minutes. Una well-done o.

saajus:
People will always come up with radiation Shenanigans. They did too when 4g came out in 2010. Some stubborn people said we can't have any OS better than XP and they get stuck in the year 2001 for so long. Change is the only constant thing. Radio Frequency is non-ionizing radiation, the same class your microwave is. It's not penetrating your skin. Scientists in the world are still researching. For now, the people against it have not come up with good scientific proofs. She got 122Mbps download speed and 2.073Mbps upload speed in that demo video, that's still very far away from the speed 5g can achieve.

MissTechy:




Tears of joy, this means a lot, thank you

nairavsdollars:
I guess Glo is still on 1g and na dem do advert pass for this world

olaric:


It's the same thing MTN and the likes do with 4G--they sell us 3G claiming it's 4G

Do you want to be downloading 2gb video every day? 5g or 4g will not change your data consumption rate, but your browsing habit will do. 5g does not increase the size of the facebook homepage or increase your mailbox size or increase the Instagram page size. Maybe because it's fast, you may be tempted to do more activities than what you are doing right now. Let's use a real-life Scenario. Assuming you are living in Lagos and Govt finish a fast rail line that can get to Ibadan in 30mins. Will you be going to Ibadan everyday without purpose all in the name that it's fast to get there. The fast rail line may only tempt you to attend more irrelevant functions if you are not disciplined.

Lovely video, very creative. Technology is truly exciting but lots of work goes in at the back end

ecclize:
am contented with my 4g LTE speed...
we are not doing quick download competition naw.

and i must say glo data last longer than MTN and Airtel data

dustmalik:

It's the other way round. Downlink speed 2.073Mbps, while uplink is 122Mbps. Look closely

saajus:
I think we both got it wrong. I didn't see it very well.
2073Mbps downlink and 122Mbps uplink. The comma looks like a dot. That makes sense now. 2.3gb movie should take around 9s to download.

BreconHills:


I am not sure how real your concerns are.

5G isnt about downloading, watching movies or making video calls which is the primary concern of many retail users. 4G is good enough for that. 5G's revolution is really in the space where man and machine become one For instance I can use a haptic glove plug into a 5G network and let a surgeon in America use my hands to perform surgery IN Nigeria. I can get streams of data flowing through neural consciousness devices so that I dont hear or view information - I think it! All this is already here - just waiting for 5G roll outs.

So here's the thing - these arent mass retail products so cost is hardly going to be an issue to the general user in simply because he is not the target market Those who use it will be able to pay or justify it through increased opportunity and revenue flows. It is at this point that the democratization of the internet begins to splinter into users who have and those who dont have. Certain aspects of data- internet- robotics - AI simply wont be affordable for the mass use initially. That's the reality.

Providers wont be insincere because not only can the speed be tested but the human augmentation apps and devices 5G is primarily intended for simply wont work if speed is not met. No hiding space for providers.

Expect to see some sort of compensation through an upgraded 4G plus at a reasonable price.
