    oh great, even more ways for the cia to hide their cancer guns

    Edit: Apparently that wasn’t obvious enough. This is really cool.

      Tin foil on your balls or labia will stop 5G from entering your brain. If all else fails, try rectal carrots. They have cyanidin 3-ferulylxyloglucosyl galactoside which block receptors in the soul from receiving 410 MHz to 7125 MHz frequencies.

        recital carrots

        I don’t know why, but I read this as “rectal carrots”. Like some sort of a carrot suppository.

        Brb, I’m gonna try something…

      You clearly don’t do conspiracy well, do you?

      It’s common knowledge that 5G is not for cancer. It’s for the mind controlling chips we all got installed with our COVID shot! Duh!!

        it can be both; the microchips are from private interests, the cancer is from the state.

            I got wireless charging from the vaccine! Too bad it only works where there’s lots of blood circulation, so it only works when I’m erect.

    Works great, i always have 5 bars

    Believe or not, still won’t be getting the mythical 1gbps

    What is the actual benefit of 5g besides draining phone battery faster than LTE?

      5G has some security improvements, making it harder to track and spoof people’s phones. It also supposedly offers lower latencies.

        Well, actually, 5G was weakened so they could still spy.

          Can you provide some sources that support this claim?

            Weird, there was a huge hubub in german tech news at that time but now i only find hints and references, like how secret services were part of the boards, etc., while englisch terms search only spits garbage.

            Well, here’s about weaknesses in 5G, like downgrade & stingray attaks etc.

            https://www.wired.com/story/5g-more-secure-4g-except-when-not/

            https://www.wired.com/story/5g-network-stingray-surveillance-non-standalone/

            https://www.a10networks.com/de/blog/gtp-remains-a-5g-security-threat-as-operators-transition-to-5g/

            And (german) about the boards, that maybe end-to-end in 6G.

            https://www.heise.de/news/Verschluesselung-in-5G-Das-Rennen-ist-verloren-4440605.html

            edit: finally found some more direct hints (german)

        Is this improvement enough to justify massive expense taxpayers incurred to fund telcos CapEx?

          It also reuses old 2G/3G bands to allow much much higher throughput and therefore more customers per band

      What is the actual benefit of 5g besides draining phone battery faster than LTE?

      Midband 5G seriously outperforms LTE in my experience. And as radios have matured battery drain has gotten significantly better (which is exactly what happened with LTE radios when we all left HSPA+ behind).

      When I had an older 5G phone without midband signal and an early radio, I just left the 5G off. But now I get annoyed if I only have LTE.

      I get ~800Mbps download speed on 5g at home. Maybe your area just didn’t invest in 5g all that much?
