In theory, 5G is likely to reach speeds that are 20 times faster than 4G LTE 1. 4G LTE has a peak speed of 1GB per second; 5G could theoretically achieve speeds of 20GB per second. These are of course what you might call ‘peak speeds’, we’ll just have to see when 5G is rolled out what the real-world performance is like.
Is 4G faster than 5G?
According to Vodafone, 5G promises device speeds around 10 times faster than 4G , meaning high-quality, ultra-high resolution 4K video calls – the standard used for commercial digital cinema – downloads will be delivered even quicker to smartphones and tablets.
