I'm no expert, but I would tend to disagree. 5G is in use in a lot of countries with little or no impact on disease rates. Also, that range of frequencies has been in use for decades with things like Radar.

The main danger 5G poses is the idiots who are doing things like attacking those who install it, and destroying the masts. Yes, destroying the masts *is* a danger because not only does it, in a lot of cases, prevent people calling the Emergency services, but the masts themselves often act as repeaters to enable the Emergency services to communicate. Any disruption with that can kill people.

And it seems like most of the area's that can get 5G can also get Gig 1.
Frustrating that Nottingham always has to wait a long time for almost everything.

Re: Any news on 5G

Now that the merger with O2 is being advertised, it could be even longer before I get 5G.

Really, don’t be spreading such bollox. There’s nothing wrong with 5G.

Whenever somebody tries to pull any 5G bollox, I always refer them to largest source of dangerous ionising radiation proven to cause cancer that the person claiming the 5G conspiracy probably spends a large proportion of their wages to travel to places to be voluntarily exposed to dangerous levels of said radiation.

Re: Any news on 5G

I was at London Victoria train station 3 weeks ago and I was very impressed with the 5G there. It's still not available in Nottingham almost a year after getting my 5G ready Oppo Find X2 Pro.

Are Virgin taking their 5G from O2 or Vodaaphone?

Re: Any news on 5G

tbh on mobile devices the only time you will really benefit from 5G is when you run a speed test and be able to go "Wow look at that speed"

In my opinion it is only really useful as an alternative to wired home BB

It's Vodafone for 5G if you have Virgin Mobile SIM.

Re: Any news on 5G

I had a text from O2 saying that 5G has been added to my tariff.

In the southern part of my town I can get 5G, I spoke to the guy in O2 he said that 5G isn't at full power yet, but I got 170mg on a speed test.

I live about a mile from the town and there is a plan to put a 5G mast, the sooner the better.

---------- Post added at 12:50 ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 ----------

I have unlimited Calls, Text and 100GB of 5G data for £36.44 a month.


Another £5 I can get unlimited
