here we are getting some limited "5G" (bandwidth is fucked it's basically early 4G speeds but with a 5G written at the top) here and there, but most cable connections are still on ADSL2. if you want fibre you have to pay for replacing the cables and congratulations now your bandwidth maybe increased from 8 Mbps to 16 Mbps but now your data cap costs are twice more expensive and you basically limited your choice to 1 or 2 ISPs.

the irony is now that almost everyone are on the mobile network the speeds are basically the same as landline connections but data caps are much more expensive. internet here is just fucked.

When you said ADSL and 16Mbps I thought to myself no other country in the world could possibly share this experience

That makes two of us lol

Also where the fuck do you have 5G? I would consider myself lucky at 4.5G (but it works alright)

mostly around my university but i have also seen the 5G symbol pop up at random places. it's never consistent though outside uni. the speeds are almost the same as 4.5G so it really doesn't matter.
