Progress by Optus and Telstra in rolling out 5G continues. The 850MHz and 900MHz bands originally allocated for 3G have been resold for 5G use from 2024.
This marks a definite end to 3G mobile. Regional and rural customers not in major centres will retain the existing options of 4G on the Telstra or Optus networks.
What benefits will 5G bring if any to these consumers?
Aside from the marketing spin, is the only real benefit one that benefits principally the telcos? IE the capability of provide more concurrent connections by repurposing current equipment.
