https://www.cnet.com/news/cable-companies-push-10g-at-ces/ > 5G is the talk of Las Vegas as CES 2019 again. This year, however, 5G's high-speed wireless networks are actually within eyeshot. Last year, Verizon launched its (sort of) 5G-based home broadband service and AT&T already rolled out 5G service in select markets. More cities will get 5G this year. The technology promises massive speed boosts -- think of downloading a season of Game of Thrones onto your phone in minutes -- as well as the potential for new developments, like streaming augmented reality. > Meanwhile, cable companies, which are stuck with physical connections, don't want to get left out of the 5G excitement. That's even if their G isn't the G that everyone is talking about.
