The truth about 5G home
Internet and why Optimum wins

5G Home Internet may sound good at first, until you realize you don’t know what speed you’re getting. That’s because 5G Internet runs on shared cell phone towers and slows during peak hours. They call it “fast internet,”
we call it “not good enough.”
