What’s the purpose of this when the 5g is just an icon to display with a speed equal to edge.
Agree with Ahk’s comments. 4G in Pakistan does not mean 4G outside Pakistan but maybe 2.5 – 3G outside. Similarly by putting filters and spywares on country’s infrastructure back bone, speed has slowed down tremendously. Why should anyone invest t in 5G?
There is no business case for 5G in Pakistan as of now.Can someone explain as to what benefits are likely to accrue with the launch of 5G.Please wait till it becomes a mass product.
