[QUOTE="Pheasant Surprise, post: 6512661, member: 1103"] There’s two main frequency bands that will be used around the world for 5G. The first is below 6 GHz. The second is between 20 to 60 GHz. As of now in the UK, Ofcom have sold 5G spectrum in the 3.5 GHz band to all the big boys. I believe that Vodafone got the largest slice of the action. As of right now, Vodafone will sell you a GigaCube 5G with unlimited use for £50 on an 18 month contract or £350 up front for a 30 day rolling agreement. Your postcode has to have at least 4G coverage before they’ll sell you one. There is only spotty 5G coverage right now in the biggest cities. You will be waiting a lot longer, probably around 2 years before it goes much farther. Speed of deployment depends very much on takeup. The carriers almost bankrupted themselves with the 3G auctions nigh on twenty years ago. They won’t repeat the same mistake with 5G and the rollout too will be slower and more difficult. [/QUOTE]
