The race to 5G is over — now it’s time to pay the bill | Networks spent years telling us that 5G would change everything. But the flashiest use cases are nowhere to be found — and the race to deplo…::AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile’s race to deploy 5G has failed to realize its flashiest outcomes while saddling carriers with debt and removing a competitor from the market.
What carrier do you use? Visible doesn’t charge extra for 5G, and it’s probably cheaper than your current plan.
You missed that I’m in Canada. The Canadian cellphone space is bullshit owned by 3 main companies and one other that has inconsistent coverage. I’m with Virgin Mobile at the moment which is a cheaper flanker brand of Bell. The only ones that have offered a $34/mo plan with 5G is a company called Public Mobile (owned by Telus) that doesn’t support any international roaming (which is a nonstarter given how many websites insist on horrible SMS 2FA), and Freedom Mobile which has limited coverage even in major cities.
