Wow, 80MB/s is equivalent to 640Mb/s, that is way faster than most fibre. He will use a months data cap in a few hours.

Capital B = bytes
Lower case b = bits
8 bits to the byte
Telecom companies usually measure in bits because it sounds more.
Would be amazing if we could get wireless in NZ without data caps because that is the main problem with wireless, much more than the slower speed.
i figured it would be technicalities.
Bottomline:
Fibre speeds available over what is a wireless connection
Result:
CNU is screwed.

5g cost and speed won't be a comparable alternative to majority of the population.
5g essentially requires a large fibre network underneath it as it requires multiple more nodes per connection than 4g.
This is why it makes sense for chorus to build and wholesale 5g.
Hard to know how new technology will affect Chorus. Useful article on the state of 5g here. My feeling is it costs a lot to implement and might not be in NZ for decades (apart from the odd test site here and there).

For me the only thing I worry about across all of my investments in NZ is the Government. As we saw with the oil and gas debacle, things can change over night.
