The first batch of 5G users complained: 30G was spent in 2 days!

At the end of October, the three major operators officially announced the commercial use of 5G, and more and more users have experienced the 5G mobile network.

Unlike the comprehensive replacement of cards and numbers when upgrading from 3G to 4G, if users want to experience the 5G network, they only need to buy a mobile phone that supports the 5G network, apply for a 5G tariff package, and then take out the 4G card in the existing mobile phone and directly insert it into the 5G mobile phone. They can then use the 5G network to surf the Internet and make calls. It can be said to be very convenient.

Of course, if you want to change the card, you can also directly apply for a 5G number. Through the operator's online APP, users need to select the city where they are located, purchase a 5G package and undergo identity verification. After receiving the new card, users can activate the card number on the operator's APP, and they can use the new number after the online review is completed.

Although the pricing of 5G packages is still relatively expensive and is charged in different tiers, it still cannot stop people from experiencing the new technological achievements. Many users even bought the 5G mobile phones that were just launched this year in order to use 5G services.

It is reported that so far, the number of users who have signed up for 5G packages has reached 870,000, and the development momentum of 5G is very encouraging.

So, it has been nearly a month since then. What do the first batch of 5G users think?

5G represents a faster download rate. According to the highest-end packages of the three major operators, it is said that the bandwidth can reach 1GB. Therefore, all users who have experienced 5G packages generally reported that the data consumption is faster than 4G, and 30GB of data was consumed in 2 days!

In fact, before 5G became popular, many users discussed whether 5G traffic would consume more and faster. Most people believe that to watch a movie, 4G traffic will use up 1GB, and 5G traffic is also 1GB, not more, it's just faster.

Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with this view, but in reality, some of the first 5G users said that this is not the case at all.

As we all know, when we watch videos or browse the web, there is actually cache. The faster the network speed, the faster the cache speed.

For example, we use 4G network to open a movie and watch it for one minute. A 10-minute clip may have been cached, so the traffic you actually spend is the traffic required to cache the 10-minute clip. However, 5G is much faster than 4G. The entire movie may be cached and downloaded in just one minute.

Maybe you didn't want to watch all the videos. When the network speed was slow, you couldn't cache much at once, so you wouldn't lose much traffic if you exited immediately. But when the network speed is fast, the video may be cached soon after you open it, and the traffic actually slipped away inadvertently.

Therefore, 5G traffic is consumed faster than 4G. Some of the first 5G users even said that they watched videos just like they did with 4G, and ended up using up 30GB of traffic in two days. You know, this amount of traffic was originally enough for a month.

According to the package standard, 30G of traffic is available in the lowest 129 yuan package. If you use up 129 yuan in two days, this fee is indeed too expensive.

So it seems that sometimes a too fast internet speed is not so good. Everyone needs to be careful when watching videos in the future.

Some netizens also said that using 5G to watch videos is a waste of money. You must use WiFi to watch videos. Such a fast network speed is actually more suitable for playing games. Especially for e-sports games that require very high network speed. With such a fast network speed, are you still worried about not being able to win the game or become the king?

Of course, the most common feedback from netizens is that the charges are too expensive. Some netizens even said that they would only be acceptable if the price was reduced by half for the same amount of traffic.

In fact, even if 5G is truly put into commercial use, its popularity is far from reaching its peak. Moreover, considering the global 5G tariff standards, China's tariffs are really the most cost-effective.

Of course, although 5G has been put into commercial use, it still has a long way to go before it can be truly popularized. Similarly, there is still a lot of room for adjustment in tariff standards. Maybe in three to five years, 5G can become as affordable as the current 4G~
