Obviously you are a 4G mobile phone, but the operator wants you to do a 5G package?

According to the data of the three major operators, as of the end of August, China Telecom had 146.62 million 5G package users, China Unicom’s 5G package users had 129,061 million users, and China Mobile’s 5G package customers had accumulated 301.45 million, totaling approximately 580 million households.

According to data from the Institute of Information and Communications Technology, as of the end of August, a total of about 350 million 5G mobile phones had been sold in China.

 

According to the data of the three major operators, as of the end of August, China Telecom had 146.62 million 5G package users, China Unicom’s 5G package users had 129,061 million users, and China Mobile’s 5G package customers had accumulated to 304.145 million, totaling approximately 580 million households.

When these two data are subtracted, it is equivalent to 350 million 5G mobile phones, supporting 580 million 5G packages, which means that at least 230 million users who are not 5G mobile phones have opened 5G packages.

 

In fact, many netizens have also experienced the "active" promotion of operators, that is, they want you to set up a 5G package, telling you that the traffic is larger, the speed is faster, and the use is better.

 

If you indicate that you are a 4G mobile phone, not a 5G mobile phone, the customer service will also persuade you to apply for a 5G package, telling you that the 4G mobile phone opens the 5G package, the same speed will be faster, and the traffic will be more, which is cost-effective.

But in fact, we know that 4G mobile phones can't play the speed of 5G. Many people may ask, why do 4G mobile phones have a 5G package and the network speed will be faster? This is because the 4G speed limit is applied. After the 5G package is applied, the 4G speed limit may be lifted, so the network speed will be faster.

 

So why do the operators know that you are a 4G mobile phone, they must also know that 4G mobile phones can not play the speed of 5G, then why let you open a 5G package?

 

Of course it is for my own benefit, and this benefit can be viewed from two aspects, one is to recover the construction cost.

 

We know that the cost of 5G construction is too high. There are many base stations, and the construction cost of base stations is also high. At the same time, base stations consume a lot of power. If everyone does not use 5G packages and uses 4G, what about the 5G construction costs of operators, so naturally we will find ways Let everyone use 5G.

 

The second is that when everyone uses 5G, 4G base stations can be reduced, so operating costs can be reduced. For example, 4G, 3G, 2G and other base stations can be reduced, operating costs can be reduced, and the spectrum can also be used for 5G, which is better.

 

So the operator will try to let you use 5G, whether you are a 4G mobile phone or a 5G mobile phone, let you use it first. But to be honest, this approach is really unkind.
