Read moreHow much faster is mmWave 5G?
For some context, mmWave 5G devices can offer maximum speeds of around 4-5Gbps , although consumer speeds are often lower. Still, mmWave can be faster than most wired fiber broadband connections. By comparison, the best sub-6GHz connections can hit a few hundred Mbps, although tens of Mbps is often more realistic.16 Kas 2021
