KZfaq getting real comfortable with the double ads

Well, would you look at that-when you park in front of a 5G tower you have 5G.

Instead of living under a bridge by the river, we'll be fighting for space under 5G poles. I could have a mobile streaming setup and no one would know I'm living the life in a $5000 van

The issue is today's 5G is still nonstandalone 5G(NSA), real 5G with super low latency is 5G standalone(SA). That's why gaming was laggy. Current 5G still relies on LTE uploads. When standalone 5G launches, you'll see latency improve greatly.

3g is here still 1mb/s 4g is here still 1mb/s 5g is here still 1mb/s

When she said her home WiFi is 100mbps me who gets 1mbps max: Really? You need 5g?

Because 5G haven't come to upload speed, currently right now 5G is only for download speed.

5G conspirators probably are going to write about how a reporter died lol 😂

oh wow lol. we're like ten years away from having that kind of coverage

This is the most unscientific showcase of anything have seen in my life.

Sure, you can use 5G instead of a broadband connection at home, but it's going to be CONSIDERABLY more expensive. The cell companies aren't going to give up anything for free. With 5G you could potentially use your entire data limit up in seconds then be subject to obscenely expensive overage charges.

4g is already faster than my home WiFi. I don’t understand why WiFi I can access anywhere is faster than the place I pay money for WiFi to be specifically moved to

5G without Huawei is not 5G.....

5G: Hit your data cap in record time.

There's no need to go outside. Just freekin buy the 5g pole instead

And here I am getting 550 mb/s download speeds an 100 mb/s upload in Lisbon, for 60€/month. A massive state initiative from 2008-2011 to build an incredible fiber optics infrastructure that everyone has to have access to has allowed this to happen. The infrastructure company rents it to multiple ISP's and due to the early investment in fiber optics technology, Portugal became a software/hardware powerhouse when it comes to its fiber optics service. 5g is cool and all, but from what I've seen so far, it won't change my life in the immediate future

I am still each time amazed at what things wsj is paying you to do in your videos XD

Comparing VZW download to the home wifi upload speeds..... Considering you’re in Jersey City and getting 100 upload, likely you’re on Verizon FiOS so you can upgrade to 1000 mbps down and upload for a little more in cost. mmwave uploads currently are between 20 Mbps and 110 Mbps so the fiber would be much better on the upload and pings are 1-5ms.

The main feature of 5G is not speed, it's close to zero latency.

I don't really anticipate the need to buy a phone for its ability to pick up 5g anytime soon based on these tests. I'm more focused on improved ram, battery life, storage space, and the camera's capabilities since 5 g will take really a decade or more flesh out all the kinks. Also, I find it very hard to beat Google Fiber, it's basically 5g and it's already here.

5G should not be used in your home unless you have no other options (such as Verizon Fios which can give you gigabit+ speeds). 5G is primarily designed for IOT and mobile applications. It is not practical to use your cell phone for home internet. Fiber Optics will always be faster than wireless.

I would be happy to have consistent 200 mbs through out the coverage area. Super fast in some spots and slow in most of the places do not cut it. The user experience has expectation to build in.

In London UK I barely get 60-80mbps down 30-40mbps upload from my home broadband. That is relatively fast here. You need a specialist supplier if you want faster speeds than this. Real advantage will be for countries that can jump straight from 4G only connection on their mobiles to 5G in most places, as they won't have to waste money on infrastructure like putting cables in the ground etc

1:23 on the right is download speed and on the left is upload, they aren’t comparable.

Company: How much speed do you need? Me: Yes 😎

Forget the 5G, I wanna know about the RV!

I cannot join my friends camping in california because I need phone and internet all the time for my work (there maybe emergencies). A productive society needs good fast Internet everywhere

Home WiFi can go up to 1 Gbps where I come from.(60$)

Who needs tht speed on the phone ? 🤦🏼‍♂️

Watching this on my slow connection, irony

The best part is that she set up a Ring doorbell on the car's sliding door

In the comparison of the two different speeds one is in upload and the other in download, this can contribute to generate a difference

I still remember happily using a 28 kbps dial-up connection back in the early days.

When you compare 5g to optical fiber its like comparing snail to airplane

Adults wasting time playing games. World has gone crazy.

I have 5G home broadband here in London, the one with big huawei wifi router and I live 150 meters from the 5g node. And yes I get faster speeds than standard fibre, however the biggest problem is instability, there all the time these short dips where either speed goes down significantly or the ping is extremely high 100ms +. So what that means in reality is let’s say I’m streaming Netflix or Disney plus in 4k but every five minutes I get this drops in quality to sub hd because of the instability of the 5g. Of course this problem is non-existent on standard broadband or fibre

Gaming is clear winner! 5G inside high automation commercial settings seems compelling and I think new innovations will be built environment based rather than on our phones. // Your videos are great! Tx

Might as well throw out the microwave oven when you put 5G in.... Things big tech decided to go silent on. Research was done in early 1990s when scientists and engineers were looking at the limits of cellular capabilities. Is research still around?

Was waiting for the video from WSJ on 5G testings!!

Oh great, microwaves everywhere just for a faster internet.

Running Apex Legends without lag😂, "This seems like the ONE "😅

Instead of hyping 5G, maybe WSJ should focus on the massive failure of cell and land data in rural America. Why should a coffee farmer in Nigeria have BETTER and lower cost data service than an Iowa farmer?

*If you use Huawei, the answer is "yes"*

This is really high quality content. More of these please!

here in HK, my home wifi is 1gbps. lol

5G in the common Sub 6 standard is still only ~100mbs. In New Jersey Verizion FiOS can hit ONE GIGABYTE per second for about $79/month plus TV in first time customers homes.

Joanna Stern Rocks! There I said it...

When I think of 5G and the future of 5G I think 'Minority Report' the movie is an example of where this is going.

You are going to pay more for 4G and slower home wifi in US regardless. I was told like 3 to 4years ago. And we still don't have fiber.

(insert Chris Farley voice here) It's hard to make 5G WORK WHEN YOU LIVE IN A VAN.... DOWN BY THE RIVER.

I'm in rural area in Atlantida, Honduras and had to get a local carrier because my carrier in the US charges me too much for roaming, and out of curiosity ran a speed test on the app got over 200+ mbps I was blown away. I have been then running more test through out the day, when it's peak hours and gets congested and surprisedly download speeds are around 200+ mpbs. So that leaves me wondering why are these companies advertising 5G when they can't even offer true 4G.

5G is like a low quality version of 2g from 2000s

So, basically I need to sell my house so I can live inside an RV that'll need to be parked next to one of those mmwave towers in order to enjoy the true 5G VZW capabilities of my iPhone 12 Pro's internet speeds? Ummm, I'll have to sleep on that one.....

Wonderful, a few folks in NYC, Chicago, a few other huge cities will have faster cell data. BUT I live in a half million metro area in the Midwest and when I drive 5 miles east I can only get 3G. 5G is not going to fix that in the next decade. When I visit my partners family farm 40 miles sw of KC, neither my Verizon nor her AT&T phones work at all. 5G is pure BS in most of the Midwest. The only reason 4G works within 5 miles of the interstate is the truckers need it and pay premium rates.

Where can I have this 5 G speed even for my phone? As of now, my Verizon phone can't even handle a phone call without dropping it every 30 seconds. I barely get any bar on my phone.

Even if we get High Up/Down speeds ... how much is it going to cost? Cable Internet is expensive enough and is definitely not accessible to all Home Owners. Cable Internet really needs an affordable competitor in the US.

I live in Jersey City as well and have gotten over 100mbps download speed on 4G LTE on my iPhone 11 Pro in most parts of the city.

A good primer for people. Using a phone as a WiFi hotspot for a lot of devices... the phone isn't designed for that so I'm not sure why you'd do it that way... It will be nice when cellular can compete with the monopoly cable companies in my area.

I love watching WSJ tech videos

Speed doesn’t even matter. 5G is about improving latency and reliability and there’s no mention or description of either... what a video

sub-millimeter band will be fast but I wonder if you want a pole like that near your home. The cell size is gonna be very small and I dont think they will be widely deployed and affordable. Ultimately how fast the access speed is gonna depend on how many concurrent users are using the service.......

You missed 2.5 gzh already in dozens of cities. The is way more important than milimeter. T-Mobile will have thousands and thousands and thousands of sites lit up by the end of the year. This is truly going to be the Sweet spot of penetration distance and speed.

4:06 fortunately your colleague didn't reply: You are beautiful.

I live in the centre of a relatively big UK city but fibre isn't available on my street. I was stuck with 10 Mbps down / 1 Mbps Up ADSL. I switched to a 5G home router box, and I'm now getting 300 Mbps down / 30 up. It's a bit pricey at £50/month for unlimited data but so worth it.

This is blatant advertising for Verizon. What happened to journalistic integrity?

I believe that it's not mmWave. Also this test is under a basestation (BE) which doesn't make sense. Many users are pretty random in distance to the BS. So when you report the speed please do a random walk on the street. If it's mmWave, there will be quite a lot of BS on the street, otherwise, the signal must be super low due to the short wavelength.

No,optical fiber is far better in my experience.

Thanks for making these interesting videos.

"Finally we can game in the bush!" You mean if you carry a cell tower with you?

Rare to see people use OnePlus Chinese smartphone in US.

You pay for what you get. Don’t expect to get 1000 mbps at a cheap price, especially comparing it to unlimited at-home WiFi.

Comparing top of the line cell reception and installation with her halfassed wifi... (most APs these days can theorectically reach 1300mbit/s)

So that is where our subscription money ended up to.

You're never getting data at the same speed as what your Internet provider is giving you. Servers aren't going to allocate 100 Mbps of bandwidth when you're a hundred miles away from the servers in which the data originates,

*You are still using HUAWEI patents you know :) 👍 thus paying loyalty fees*

My ISP in India do provide 1 GBPS speed in India through optical fiber if I take up their most expensive subscription which is ₹3499 or USD 48. But who need that much speed anyway. I am happy with 150 MBPS plan.

Today I was reviewing Verizon 5G plans in my city. In the plan details I noted Verizon was selling 5G labeled plans. However, you were going to get 4G LTE data service. Can anyone explain this?

Can't wait to use 5G at 2G speed

Many areas of the country have no service at all - please invest in towers for those areas before upgrading from 4G to 5G.

Interesting experiment that shows some performance on the 5G networks. Although, I can't ignore the fact that I'm really annoyed that she keeps comparing 5G as amazing compared to her 100mbit/s connection and as if wifi was inferior to 5G. Seriously, she's going around in the middle of the city which I'm sure she could get much faster broadband connection than 100 mbit/s if she wanted to pay for it. The 5G test are uncapped speeds, so that's an unfair comparaison vs the capped home broadband. For outside the city with people stuck old cooper connection, that's an other story, but the test wasn't done on the country side, so....

But Verizon sets your data cap on a family plan at 16 gb which is much lower than home cable Cox at 1TB.

shouldn't she be concentrating on price rather than speed? price is the thing that will hold most people back.... not the fact that they are *only* getting 100mbps at home

Can’t wait to get rid of cable companies for good 🙌

4:17 completely missed the fact that John Cena was in this video 😲

First vanlife esque video I've seen use VR, nice!

not every American lives in NYC

That music playing during the gaming and vr segment! Someone find out what it is!!!

you should have used a 5G router not a smartphone hotspot

It's all fun and game until the company remove the pole.

how much does this van/renovation cost?

1:22 You're not even comparing the same metric

If WSJ asks me to go and do the speed test, I would try parallel downloads on several laptops. Edit: the question still remains, do we really need 5G with that speed? If you want your Gb's and Tb's of data to be stolen in a flick (Like Thanos wiped out the half population of all universe in a flick :D) or if you have 8k LED TV's at home then you surely need 5G.

I'm pretty sure that city is pronounced "Joyzee City"

Your home needs to use 1000M board-band ISP as well as a Wifi router

5g is just a better 4g but how better you say you know its 5 greater than 4 thats why?? Right.

It did already!

80-90 mbps on sub6 and twice as fast as 4g? is this just in the states like this? Here in Europe i get 150 mbps on 4g.

Why all these reviews does not mention, it will kill your phone battery?

You don't know the convenience of 5G everywhere public hot spot at every bus station, mall, shop, public park, play Pokemon without lag, work anywhere, stream anywhere and some cities in Asia already has that

No cap my data faster than my wifi 😂😂
