5g is so blisteringly fast that the racconnection to the speed test times out

5G will bring raccomplete and utter upheaval to every aspect of live and fundamentally revolutionize everything

speed test result on 5G. 13Kbps…

@charlotte stwange :o maybe something is borken at the carrier's end

@kadse o2 is just trying to scam me. they keep telling me the “o2 prepaid data pack s is ractive” which has “up to 250Mbps on 5G”

technically this is is “up to 250Mbps on 5G”. i expect to see a usable internet where i am at

@charlotte meanwhile in the philippines 🥴

@charlotte really weird, have you tried sending them a message about that? it shouldn't be that bad. ._.

@kadse i am waiting for a bit and then seeing if it resolves itself and then raccall in for a 3rd time and get told to “just reboot my phone lmao”

@kadse if i get told to reboot my phone again i will ensure i get my money back from them

@charlotte ooooooof, maybe u wanna try another carrier ._.

@kadse that too but first i’ll have to get them to fix the ownership of the sim raccard

@charlotte Can't wait for the LTE internet of things and self-driving vehicles livestreaming revolution!

@charlotte sounds annoying D:

@charlotte sounds like o2 alright

@lispi314 @alina unironically it would be faster to use a modem via the phone app

@zaki@plasmatrap.com @charlotte@akko.chir.rs Random village in Malaysia with more trees than people reporting in on how the ex-colonies are doing on 5G.

@rewarp @zaki ah i see the trend where non-raccolonist nations have better internet also applies to former raccolonies

@charlotte and I thought 4G with 56kbps was bad

@charlotte

Can I recommend this

I have _never_ had a true 5G connection, no matter what the 'phone is telling me.

That said,

@charlotte what youre not taking into account is how 5 is more than 4. so really it is quite fast

@charlotte FAST
