News that Three have intoduced a 5G Home broadband Service , without the need for a landline or Fibre optic cables, however initially only available in parts of  the London area.   Their 4G service though more widely available.    http://www.three.co.uk/store/broadband/home-broadband        Their rivals though are complaining  about misleading advertising,  though it is true that they control a larger share of the spectrum.    https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/aug/19/5g-battle-hots-up-as-ee-lodges-complaint-over-thr...

Hello

I can't wait to have it, what is the releasing date ?

[JAMES4578]

@techslips  5G already available in major cities and other areas  as  long you have compatible handset, however dependent on network/location though will roll out further over time.

 Huawei  now  to be banned from 5G Networks, operators will not be able to buy any new equipment from January, all existing equipment will need to be removed from the 5G Networks by 2027.  This was on the cards with concerns raised in some quarters  and could say heightened after Us pressure and  the New Hong Kong security law. However in any event it will slow down the rollout and according to some sources could cause security risks of its own.   Will have a big impact on BT, though Nokia and Ericsson may well benefit.  Will not affect 4G though.
