Someone on my town Facebook page complaining about not having any options for internet (Comcast only in our town) and someone chimes in not to worry because wired internet is dead and everyone should just 4G through T-Mobile SMH

Why is the city some kind of secret?

Why would you care about it? It’s the same reason I blocked out the name of the poster, for a bit of privacy. It’s all small town and it’s none of your business where it is

someone does not realize that wires feed all that cool wireless stuff

How the hell des he think the towers that provide 1 to 5g receive the bandwidth? In the imortal words of that smart mouthed scholor, Bugs Bunny, "what a maroon".

I mean there's a new fiber company that just started rolling out in my town.

Wait until they find out that all their 5G signals are powered by a fiber/coaxial backend, depending on where they live 😂

And satellite is worse than cable or fiber, it only exists for remote places that don’t have that option.

China is starting to roll out their 6G already which promises 100Gbit/sec. By the time the rest of the world gets its from a other vendors China will already have over 2 million towers upgraded to the system, just like what happened with 5G.
