The speed of 5G is 11-12 times that of current 4G network and will be the next “big thing” in terms of networking. The speed results were promising in most areas some showed below 400 Mbps too but still, it is significantly greater than 4G LTE.
There were also some downloading experiments performed on some basic play store apps and also Netflix movies which are as shown below.

CNET stated that,
“The coverage was better than what we’ve experienced on other mmWave networks.”
We also have a city list which will follow the 5G installations first in the world. They are New York City, Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, Cleveland or Las Vegas.
CNET also found some other results which were not as approving as that of T-Mobiles. However, the results can still be considered satisfactory as they are still better than what we have as 4G.
