What does 5G internet actually offer?
Common Myth: 5G is often mistaken for 5 Gigabits per second (5 Gigs). Truth: 5G actually stands for the 5th Generation of cellular data technology, not a certain speed.
Spotty service, sneaky price hikes, data caps, low reliability—yup, that sounds like 5G to us.
Spotty Coverage
5G service relies on a network of cell towers.
Sluggish uploads
If tower is far away or down, uploads will be slow.
Hidden fees*
*Read that fine print.
Why depend on tower coverage when you can get the awesomely-fast internet you deserve?
The only thing you'll lose is the signal going out.
Fiber Internet Vs. 5G
Let's compare these two internet options side-by-side and see why fiber wins every time.
| Feature | Gateway Fiber | 5G Internet |
| Speed | Up to 2 Gbps, symmetrical upload/download | Speeds vary widely depending on distance to the closest tower and network traffic |
| Reliability | Ultra reliable, minimal outages, 99.98% uptime | Similar to cell phone service, 5G depends on tower coverage |
| Latency | Lowest latency (ping), ideal for gaming and real-time applications | Higher latency, not great for gaming or high-demand real-time applications |
| Data Caps | No data caps | May have data caps that cost extra if you go over |
| Price | Moderately priced | Price fluctuates with data cap |
| Installation | Free professional installation + complete home wi-fi setup | Self-service installation |
