Even fibre to the home has to share bandwidth with everyone else when it travels around.

The webpage you view isn't hosted on a server in your bedroom or down the street.

You need to brush up on things DaveR before trying to come across as an expert when clearly you are not.

If we all had a private single lane road directly from our driveway to everywhere in the world, we wouldn't have to wait for anyone and we wouldn't have to slow down. But the cost is impossible.

So it is for FTTH. Those that want it or need it, can pay for it. Lots of places are getting it anyway. Those that don't, can live with ADSL 2+ quite happily, or FTTN or wireless like I do.

I don't want or need to download hi def porn movies or upload them either as I'm not a stud like you.

So please stop wasting my time.

5G and what comes after will give the vast majority of people what they want and need - fast, MOBILE connectivity.

The capacity limit of wireless is a few gigabits per second, divided between everybody (potentially hundreds of people) within the working radius of the base station. The capacity limit of a single fibre is many TERAbits per second, and you can fit hundreds of fibres into a cable the width of your finger. There's really no comparison.
