> With 56% of New York City households lacking both home and mobile broadband connections

I get that they’re saying this stat is having BOTH home broadband AND mobile broadband, but it still feels like bullshit.

Yes, that doesn't sound right. Home broadband is just internet access. And you get mobile broadband from your phone.

All these stats are always lies. Like the one that 1/10 public school students in nyc is homeless. All manipulated stats.

"32-foot-tall, networked towers called Link5G are cropping up across New York City, providing 5G services plus free Wi-Fi, USB charging, and 911 calling."

For the hearing impaired? Like at ATMs?

I would rather have 100 percent reliable, no drops or network stalling, won’t kill my battery 4G over “it’s supposedly fast, it only as fast as the server can dish it out” 5G.

5G is really about increasing the number of connections the network can handle rather than boosting speeds. In certain situations, you may get faster speeds, but that'll often be because the network doesn't have to throttle to keep up.

Makes perfect sense to put gigantic 30 foot tall cell towers right on the street rather than hiding on the tops of buildings because.... wait, there must be a reason? Oh yeah, they can show ads on the side.
