5G ON: T-Mobile 5G Network is Activated in the USA

5G ON: T-Mobile 5G Network is Activated in the USA

One of the biggest and most important wireless high-speed networks just has become active. T-Mobile activated its 5G network across the United States covering more than 200 million people and more than 5,000 cities and towns.

T-Mobile doesn’t offer specifics on what kind of speeds you’ll see on the new network, and the actual improvements will vary a lot by location. “In some places, 600 MHz 5G will be a lot faster than LTE. In others, customers won’t see as much difference,” T-Mobile says.

Two new 5G smartphones, the exclusive OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren ($899.99) and the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G ($1299.99), are available for pre-order today at www.t-mobile.com/devices/5g-phones and in T-Mobile stores on December 6. Both 5G phones tap into the Un-carrier’s 600 MHz 5G network where available and T-Mobile’s LTE network elsewhere. Plus, both are ready to use Sprint’s 5G spectrum (2.5 GHz) when available from the New T-Mobile if the merger closes. To celebrate the launch, T-Mobile's customers can get the OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren for FREE with 24 bill credits when they switch to T-Mobile and trade in an eligible phone … or, get a Note10+ 5G for FREE with 24 bill credits when they buy another and add a line (two for new customers). T-Mobile says its 5G network covers more than 60% of the population across more than 1 million square miles, much of that in rural America. It covers 200 million people and more than 5,000 towns.

In adition, T-Mobile’s 5G access costs the same as LTE at T-Mobile. All of the major US carriers have been racing to launch 5G this year. The next notable deployment is supposed to come from AT&T, which plans to launch its own low-band 5G this month, albeit only in five cities.

Here in Canada we still have phone plans costing around 80$ a month with 2gb caps, currently with these ridiculous caps I'd be fine with 3g network or worse.

Yeah that's true, talked to my family over there last summer, mobile plans are quit expensive. Land line internet though (in urban areas!) is relatively cheap in the Eastern parts. I was amazed

I'm wary of everything that starts with a T- we know their AI is out to get us :eek: :D

I don't know sverek but what I can tell you is that with 10Gbit internet I downloaded 576Gbs in 30min so that gives you an idea lol (completely irrealistic usage of course I had to queue games files and 4k-8k videos in p2p,youtube,dailymotion,steam,uplay,origin, linux isos direct downloads etc.. and try to start all the downloads at the same time it took me more time to set it up than to download
anyways providers will have to limit it, it's just not possible to have unlimited plans with that speed, it's a "different" world one where you stop counting in Gbs and start with the Tbs
personal record comes from the MS Store (steam and all the others aren't that fast)

I'm really curious about what it'll do to battery life, 10Gbe is hardcore in cpu usage and generated heat (by the NIC) on a desktop computer how will it work on a tiny smartphone ?

on the health topic i don't know much about 5G but I'm curious to know how much more intense the signal have to be ? judging from wireless VR it seems that transmitting a lot of data quickly is a big problem, emitters have to be way more powerful and super directional, while I don't really mind 4G, such a huge speed "leap" (more like a rocket sent to the moon) going to 5G can't be good for health

I don't see a problem with health issues such as cancer, because no one was able to prove it. Maybe there could be issues with some frequencies being able to resonate in some of your organs. E.g. eyes, balls, some lower frequencies maybe in heart. But all of that would require quite substantial power to cause any problems.
