An article from Korea Bizwire points out that a lot of South Korean 5G users just aren t that impressed with 5G speeds yet.
Despite promises of 5G speeds 20 times faster than 4G LTE, government estimates point to 5G speeds being only four times faster - and that s if you can get a 5G signal, with one South Korean use noting her 5G phone was mostly only ever connected to 4G towers.
Indeed, my own personal tests have shown that, while 5G can indeed reach speeds of 500Mbps or more on some carriers in Australia, where I was getting 500Mbps download speeds on Vodafone s much smaller 5G footprint, Telstra was only delivering 100Mbps 5G speeds.
