The Advertiser: Telco giant Vodafone to roll out 5G sites within weeks
WhistleOut spokesman Alex Choros comments on what people need to know about the introduction of Vodafone's 5G network.
Telco comparison website WhistleOut’s spokesman Alex Choros said the 5G rollout would “increase competition between the major telcos and offer greater choice”.
“However, 5G is still very limited in terms of immediate impact, we’re not seeing any apps or services take advantage of the technology yet,” he said.
“5G will become a lot more exciting when there is consistent and reliable 5G coverage across the country, right now Australia’s 5G networks are in their infancy and a bit like Swiss cheese – they’re full of holes.”
Mr Choros said customers wanting to access 5G must have a 5G device and be in an area where there is 5G coverage.
“Given how limited 5G network coverage is currently the best use case for 5G right now is home internet, given that dwellings typically don’t move location,” he said.
