When 5G has become standard for the Telus network will Public Mobile make 4G the standard for data speed?

@miltondad2twins Public Mobile is 4g LTE throttled to 3mbts. Stay safe.

It is hard to say. PM is a third tier provider so hard to predict what they might change.

@miltondad2twins If you are talking 5G network wide I would be very surprised if any of the big companies will have it. The range of 5G is very short, I have read articles that say you will need an antenna every 250-500 meters, depending on what study you read or the building density. So outside of high density urban areas, downtown cores in smaller cities and large airports/venues, I would very surprised in the foreseeable future to see 5G as the network wide standard anywhere.

@miltondad2twins

It’s gonna be a long time before the 4G becomes faster with no restriction like there is now like what @gblackma has said.

We might only get 4G full when 6G is being deployed

@miltondad2twins companies want to get rid of HSPA+ by 2025. when that happens we will probably get a higher throttle cap or full LTE

I'm no so sure. The only thing that Public Mobile would really have to would be to enable VoLTE.
