Do you often hear the description "5G Internet access is about to take off"?

With the update from 4G to 5G, everyone's expectations for network speed are getting higher and higher. However, you found that 5G does not seem to be as fast as the legend!

Is it another operator's trick? Really not necessarily, then let's see who "pulled the back".

base station coverage. In general, the coverage radius of a base station is as follows: 2G base station is about 5-10 kilometers, 3G base station is about 2-5 kilometers, 4G base station is about 1-3 kilometers, and 5G base station is about 100-300 meters. See it? Although the speed of 5G is 10 times that of 4G, the coverage of base stations is one-tenth of the latter. Especially in dense high-rise areas, or in the case of fast moving, the signal fluctuation is large, and the network will be affected, which is why the 5G network speed will vary greatly in different locations. Of course, such problems can also be improved if optical fiber dedicated lines or indoor distribution systems are used.

network time. It's like tap water. The whole building is using water during cooking time, so your home will naturally have less water. The same is true for the network speed. During peak periods of network usage or in areas with dense users, and the current limited coverage of 5G base stations, the network speed will naturally decrease. Otherwise, why is there such a thing as "idle traffic"? Fortunately, 5G has large bandwidth and large capacity. As long as the construction of base stations is slowly rolled out, it will not be a problem in the future.

Terminal Equipment. The mobile phone shows that the 5G signal is full, but the network speed is still not up. Then you need to consider the problem of the mobile phone itself. It may download multiple files at the same time, resulting in slow network speed, or there may be too many running programs, and you need to clean up the background.

In short, the legendary 5G is really "high-speed", but the actual speed will be affected by different factors, we must also treat this correctly, after all, we will eventually embrace the 5G era.
