5000x faster than the “typical” connection on 5G, which, translated, means absolutely nothing. 5G is technically capable of 20gbit/s. So, maybe it’s theoretically 47x faster… in practice, in the real world, I assume it’ll be much much slower and only a marginal increase over 5G.


Even if the tech ends up 500x slower in real life, that might be enough to start displacing fiber. It’s really difficult to setup a home network capable of actually reaching 1Gbps without resorting to ethernet cabling. With this you won’t even need a router.


Density becomes an issue rapidly. It might be 500x slower with a few people using it, but that’ll rapidly get slower as it’s used.


That's fine, if people go over the bandwidth cap of 10G with their 10G/sec connection, they will be reduced to 2G speed for network congestion protection purposes. Also for and extra $20 you can buy another 10G of bandwidth!
