Is 5G wireless better than NBN?

5G promises to be much faster than the NBN , just as reliable and with ultra-low latency. What remains to be seen however is the cost of data on the 5G network and the issue of coverage across Australia. If current mobile data costs are anything to go by, the NBN may be going strong for a few more years yet.

5G home internet connects to the internet using the same mobile networks that our phones do, while NBN is a fibre (or part fibre) broadband solution . Optus and Telstra are hard at work rolling out 5G coverage across the country with Vodafone following behind at a slightly slower pace.

5G broadband is a mobile broadband connection that supplies ultrafast broadband speeds without the need for a landline . Instead of relying on fibre-optic or copper cables to connect your home to the internet, it uses a 5G mobile signal just like the latest smartphones do.16 Şub 2022

Finally, your Wi-Fi router’s 5GHz is not the same thing as 5G . Wi-Fi uses short-range radio frequencies, 2.4 or 5Ghz to transmit your internet signal from your ISP to your home or office devices.
