I have both 2 gig att fiber and verizon 5G home plus. Verizon is backup and att is main, att is 2gig up and down and verizon is 320 down 35 up. When I do speedtest, it goes to 600 mbps then throttles to 300.

We have T Mobile 5G now. $40 per month, but I have poor Zoom calls with it. Your video explained why, thank you. We have an opportunity to pre-sign up (construction will be done in December of 2024) for Fiber optic 200 x 200 for $71 per month. Is that enough for zoom calls? We only have 2 people. 3 TV's and 2 Chromebooks. Only a couple of these are turned on at the same time.

Yes - I do believe that would be enough for just two people.

I’m a gamer looking for better ping , would the symmetrical speeds improve ping in games? As 5g is very low upload, and ping is both upload and download time per ms

good info even though I'm not a tecky

Neither would work where I live. Assuming the dollar amount$ were monthly?

Yes

my parents' had fiber wifi through AT&T. honestly AT&T fucking sucked. There would be multiple times that the internet would just disconnect and be gone sometimes for an hour, one time as long as 5 days. We also had a neighbor who yelled at my poor mother b/c the idiots at AT&T put the damn cable through their backyard without telling her. We would reset the modem as they told us and it still would never never work. The incomptent techs AT&T sent never permanently fixed the problem i've heard 5g is not reliable at all but anything is an improvement over that nightmare of an experience we had with AT&T

is the verizon product no simply a glorified hotspot?

Kinda, I recommend verizon's fiber, I've only had issues 2-3 times in the past 6 years, all of them because someone was unplugging the ONT.

Is it worth it to switch from fiber to 5g

In my situation - no. 5g wasn’t as consistent with speed and reliability

Fiber is almost always more stable and reliable than a wireless cellphone signal. Unless a 5G internet service is cheaper than your fiber internet AND cost is a concern, I would recommend keeping fiber internet.

5G is a joke. They hyped it up just like 4G while using 3G. They all are very slow compared to fiber internet!
