I made this post this morning, and I'd like to make a followup: https://functional.cafe/@loke/105813174834542090
I'd like to ask people here if anyone know of a good use-case for 5G. Something that would be an actual, measurable improvement compared to today.
So far I have only heard a single one, and that is that supposedly latency will be much better, making online gaming possible. What kind of latency can I expect to see?
Other than the ability to play fortnite on mobile (which, as far as I understand, people already do?), in what way is 5G actually going to be real gamechanger on the level of what marketing is claiming it will be?
First iterations are always more exciting. Just like with the first iOS/Android devices or first laptops. Don't care about 5G myself as well :)
That being said 5G gives you WIFI-like latency, so it's a godsend for everybody that needs "fiber-quality" Internet but does not have a good ISP nearby.
Or play competitive games when traveling.
Or like to video-chat without this weird latency-lag that makes soft, polite joining into coversation almost impossible
