5G is going to be the system around the world that will start replacing 4G networks. 5G is so fast and incredibly powerful that although every time things improve, we always say we have never seen anything like it, this really is going to take things to yet another new level! At the moment, for example, there is a lag time on 4G networks of about 50 milliseconds before it picks up what you are requesting. On 5G lag time is cut to 1 millisecond. That, and other developments, are going to help devices also use less battery power once 5G networks are implemented, so all devices, regardless of whatever improvements have taken place by then, will then have more battery power as a result of a more powerful system.
5G networks will also be very important for automated cars – because they will be able to get information from other cars on the road around them, and from servers and other data centres faster – possibly helping reduce more accidents. The companies that stand to win when 5G is introduced include Ericsson and Nokia who produce the radio access network and its base stations. 5G networks will of course bring far superior speed than we have now – huge files will be downloaded in only a few seconds and an 8Gb HD movie could be downloaded in 6 seconds on 5G instead of the alleged 7 minutes it would take on 4G. I say alleged, because that is the statistic they give, but I have never been able to download 8Gb of anything in South Africa in 7 minutes.

Sounds awesome - anything that is faster ad will assist with battery life. One is always wanting something that weill make their life a lot easier

Sounds great, however this is what we always say, until we get it and then its not fast enough. I must say the internet these days are extremely slow hopefully this will make a change

Sounds good. Frustrating to wait to download things. Sometimes people get so frustrated that they even give up on their downloads. There has been times where you download and all it does is take your data and sometimes the download is unsuccessful.

The internet connection these days is really slow. Would be great when they start implementing 5G.

Wow sounds interesting but they cannot even improve the current network and errors hopefully moving forward so quick does not result in a problem if it can stay constant without jumping the whole time it would be amazing.

Sounds amazing, but I will believe it when I see it. They are always trying to improve everything around us, but still there are problems here and there. I honestly don't thing anything will ever be perfect and will work precisely how one want's it to work. Sooner or later things start to slow down again or the area in which you are situated are not supported - the usual excuses will still pop up. But I hope it will work especially for the cars. Can you imagine if the information has to be even 7 seconds delayed - oops you missed your off ramp.

5G system sounds very powerful, Technology improving all the time

The technological world is forever improving. Will we ever be able to keep up?
I just hope it is as great as they're making it seem. Let's also hope it speeds everything up and doesn't make everything else slow

Lets hope this helps the networks with internet connection, I get annoyed when I try and watch youtube videos and it just buffers

This is great news as the internet connection now days is irritating and really slow. But this will really make me wonder if the price is going to increase as we already pay so much for Data

This is good news as the internet connection these days is exceptionally slow. I, however, agree with Daniella our data prices are something that needs to be considered as we are being provided with poor service at ridiculous rates.

That is pretty mind blowing. I cannot keep up with all these advances in technology. South Africa is naturally behind the times as opposed to the rest of the world but to be honest I don't mind. I need some time to process all of these improvements.
Daniella said:

Faster internet is never a bad thing! the only thing now is that Data prices must fall we have the slowest yet most expensive internet compared to other countries- Its Ridiculous.

Faster internet is always good news to me. I can not wait to use the 5G. I don't need to use social media as long as I can watch my series without buffering, I`ll be happy. I'm sure this is also wonderful news for companies.

This sounds amazing.Technology is improving everyday. I wonder how things will be in 10 years time.

I am always happy to welcome a faster connection, there is nothing more frustrating that a hanging connection or worse, seeing that "E" logo at the top of your screen!

It’s all about getting information faster and I am sure many people have been waiting for this. Technology is improving at a rapid rate and no doubt making life a whole lot easier! I am all about moving forward !

Wow, this is amazing. I would not have known what a big difference it will make without seeing those numbers. I would definitely be amazed to download anything at that speed.

Technology is always improving. We live in such an innovative world that I cannot imagine what network we would be running in 10 years time. Now all the cellular networks really need to decrease their data prices.
Megan said:

Another reason to get a new phone. I think its great to expand but I don't remember the hype when 4G came out? I hope it is a success when it comes to South Africa, I'm sure it will be!
Sharne said:

Cant wait to hear what's next, It would also be great to hear about lower data rates.
courtney said:

That would be wonderful. I wish they could lower data.

Nothing better than fast internet this is something to look forward to, but can they please come up with cheaper Data bundles
Without being able to purchase data fast internet will be useless lol

Not that am saying its not going to work but people lets wake up and see the things what they are,In South Africa they always say we will provide you with the best network service but what happens right after you get it dololo its full of shit at that you are still loosing Data. The best networks so far is Vodacom and Telkom so far, Cellc is not that bad but for other people it is, then the is MTN the worse network anyone can use. We will love the fast internet but with the best network service
Ashleigh said:

Its great to hear but I would prefer to hear about how they are lowering data bundles rates :)

It is soo amazing cant wait till it comes out in South Africa.. No more slow downloads haha, But things are improving with one hell of a speed wonder how things will be in 10 years time .

Very impressive. It is amazing how much technology has improved over the last few years. It is going to be great to see what is still lying ahead.

This sounds amazing. It is so convenient to have fast internet and not having to wait for something to load or download and have it take what feels like forever.

I wonder how long it will take for such infrastructure to be introduced to South Africa? This may be the platform that Nokie need to make a come back, as we are all aware that their stake within the market has diminished. The primary technologies include: Millimeter wave bands (26, 28, 38, and 60 GHz) are 5G and offer performance as high as 20 gigabits per second

5G internet would be fantastic, even just in the sense of having information readily available to you when you need it. Downloading movies and music would be a much more pleasant experience if it took so quick.
Jadine E said:

Agreeing with David on this one. It will be less of a pain if the speed of connecting as well as downloading became a lot more faster.
