Hey everyone. I just saw that MTC is offering 5G home connections now - I'm going to focus on their 1Tb package. 1Tb FUP at 5G speeds (In Swakop I have seen it easily range between 300-700 mbit/s), on a month-to-month basis for 999/Mo. Compared to their Fiber - the fastest package being 75/37.5 FTTH package, which costs 990/Mo on a 24 month period. (The fiber however being uncapped) Now what I am curious about: Roughly, what does your monthly data usage look like? Most people I know, whether on fiber, wireless or LTE, do not exceed 1Tb a month. (I can't speak for myself, I routinely require 2-3Tb of data in some months). Unless I am incorrect about the average persons data usage, how can MTC provide such high bandwidth over 5G (which relies on the existing fiber backbone and is expensive to run) at the same price or cheaper than a much slower fiber connection, when it seems to me many people would not even be affected by a 1Tb FUP. Yes, fiber has higher installation costs and takes more man-hours, but how are they not offering 150 or 200 mbit/s for their fiber yet (even at a higher price)? It obviously looks to be possible.   submitted by   /u/Drizzy_1445 [link]   [comments]
