Why 5G Internet Is the Way to the Future?
The 5G internet technology is said to have the capability to increase your download speed by multiple times. With 5G, you can download 1 gigabit per second and open bigger and better avenues for the country. It is said that the home router’s speed for the 5G internet will be around 4 gigabytes per second. With these statistics, a consumer can easily download 50GB in about 2 minutes.
