5G technology is able to deliver faster speeds by combining larger blocks of spectrum than previous 4G technology , but the challenge has been finding larger blocks of contiguous spectrum available. The United States has focused on high-band spectrum, despite the signals not reaching much of the country.

Technically. So, why are some 5G connections so slow? The first, and most impactful, reason is that the far-reaching 5G signals that have powered the vast majority of carrier rollouts in the US – especially from AT&T and, to a lesser extent, T-Mobile – have used low-band carrier frequencies.7 Şub 2022
Read moreIs 5G actually faster than 4G?
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.
