5G sucks.

5G sucks.
To be fair, I have gotten up to 165 Mbps downloads (which occurred on a street near my home while walking at 6 AM on a Sunday morning), but the recent test here a few minutes ago has been very typical as of late:

RE: 5G sucks.
Still, it's billions of times faster than the speed with which prayers travel.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The advertised rate would be just fine, at least on occasion; I upgraded from 4G -- $60 more a month for 6 phones.

don’t know about Verizon, but AT&T delivers two levels of 5G service, depending which part of their network you are on.  older parts of the network, that is to say the vast majority of the existing AT&T network, has what AT&T call 5G, which is actually incapable of coming anywhere close to what even AT&T itself promises for 5G.   what AT&T call 5G is barely better than 4G LTE.    However some newer parts of AT&T network provides what AT&T call 5G+.   5G+ actually comes close to delivering what AT&T promised for 5G.

I think the reason is AT&T degraded their initial 5G performance so they can cover the largest area with “5G” service with the fewest towers.   the degradation was required to maintain service reliability with a sparse network of towers.   Now they got a lot of area on this half asses 5G service, they are beginning to densify parts their network so they can offer a let duplicitous version of 5G service. 

maybe Verizon is doing something similar?

This reminds me of salespeople going door to door, selling the new fiberoptic connections, touting "blazing fast" speeds. I asked if they were running the fiber on our street. Crickets. It's still coaxial cable here, many years later.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I keep reading the thread title as "SG sucks", and I'm wondering what's wrong with an SG?

Somehow I am seeing Trump... instead of Thump... The likely explanation is probably Freudian in nature.
