Key bit of info in the article, "It transmits data in the millimeter-wave band at a frequency of 28 GHz at a speed of up to 1.056 Gbps to a distance of up to 2 kilometers" while the 1gbps figure is impressive, most consumers would experience something possibly a few hundred megabytes lower, still impressive though.<p>But seriously, 2020? 4G is only just starting to be rolled out in Australia now and the only carrier with decent 4G is Telstra and the speeds are pretty impressive, data is expensive though.
