I don’t understand the 5G craze, LTE is more that sufficient for most people. Not to mention, some networks aren’t even fully done rolling out LTE, why begin another project? AT&T’s LTE is so poor in my area.

Because it adds more capacity to existing 4G Network.

haha so we don’t really have a clue when then. I’m actually looking forward to 5G, should give some better competition to fixed line broadband services with the lower latency (big problem on 4g for gamers) and allow more people to use services on phones in large crowds as well as the potential iot stuff that might take advantage like cars. Not all of that will probably be fully embraced but at least one will I’d imagine.

The BT reference is largely irrelevant, this is EE one of the big three UK mobile networks (the other being known as 3 confusingly). They got a year exclusive on the first cellular Apple Watch.

That's said, maybe it is relevant as if you have a problem with your BT broadband connection, you'll usually get the fantastically helpful and specific response..."don't worry, our engineer will be out to you *within days*".

EE is wholly-owned and ran by BT.
