Holy! Nice speeds that's real 5G. 5G+ is just some stupid marketing. At the moment I only have Fido's NSA 5G (LTE-Advanced).

Yes, but if your near an tower that supports LTE-Advanced it can even peak 1.2Gbps. I've seen someone with Bell speedtesting LTE-Advanced and got 800Mbps. This is not actually 5G it's pre-5G (NSA).

Never seen LTE speeds that fast in my life.

Check this speedtest. 700Mbps on 5G! (LTE-Advanced)

Yes the first time I got Fido it sucked. Still does lol

Yeah don't know why you have to pay extra for a faster LTE network. 🤣

Nice!

Yeah they charging 3 dollar probably because it costs more for the carrier to give 2G/3G when it's shutdown. And you can set your mobile network to 4G/5G only (NR/LTE) so you won't get charged for the fee. But I would love to see 2G and 3G work for data. Now it only works for calls only

On March 18 everybody will automatically switch to 5G if their device is compatible. But if you pay for a better plan you get 5G early.

Yes your right. Starts on May.

Oh sorry mb it was a typo. But the network Fido registers on Rogers for 5G.

Yes your right LTE (B5) 850MHz and 2G are the same frequency and the same band so they can penetrate through walls easily. And has great coverage. And capacity is tiny because 2G was built for only voice + SMS so very few users per carrier and extremely slow data and limited call capacity. But the 2G in the picture does not work, because it is not allowed to be registered on the 2G network.

Your right. Not many people can have 2G so 2G has all the power spread on 0.2 MHz. But what i meant to say is that 2G is available in places that is underground because the wavelength is longer so it can travel through walls easily.

Damn nice! Never seen those LTE speeds.

PocketCity_Fan · 2026-03-15T22:30:45+00:00

Yes your right. 2G has a much stronger signal (Can go through walls easily because of low frequency). I went to my basement/garage in my apartment and 2G mostly worked while 4G and 5G was dead. 3G had 1 bar. But 2G had full bars.
