Will 5G replace broadband

Since 5G is projected to still be limited by 2022, WiFi will pull out ahead and not be replaced .

In simple terms, 2.4GHz has a lower potential top speed but penetrates better, so it has a longer range than the higher frequency, 5GHz, which can deliver faster speeds but doesn’t penetrate things like walls as easily. It’s worth noting that 5GHz Wi-Fi has absolutely nothing to do with 5G mobile networks .

This means that 5G can replace cable Internet in some places , which would be detrimental to the cable TV business model. However, things aren’t as black and white. There are some significant disadvantages to 5G that might help keep cable TV companies and their wired Internet connections.
