In the current communication market, whether 4G is sufficient and the cost-effectiveness of 5G packages has become the focus of hot discussion for ordinary users. Most users feedback that the 4G network is still smooth in daily scenes such as browsing videos, chatting on WeChat, watching live broadcasts, etc., while the 5G package, which is nearly twice as expensive, is difficult to highlight the advantages of network speed under non-professional needs, which makes many people confused about whether to upgrade to 5G.
What is the view of users?
Users who visited many places found that the experience of Ms. Wang, a white-collar in a first-tier city, was quite representative: "There is WiFi at home and in the company. When you go out to watch short videos and use 4G for navigation, there is no jam at all. The monthly 4G package of 58 yuan is enough, and there is no need to spend 128 yuan to exchange for 5G." Mr. Li, who is engaged in e-commerce live broadcast, has a different opinion: "The upload speed is very important during the live broadcast. 5G is indeed more stable than 4G. Although the package is more expensive, it can reduce the loss caused by the stuttering." This difference shows that the practicality of 5G is closely related to the user's occupation and usage scenarios.
Communication industry analysts pointed out that at present, the number of domestic 4G base stations exceeds 5.9 million, and the coverage density far exceeds that of 5G. In remote areas and indoor environments, the stability of 4G signals is more advantageous. In terms of tariffs, the starting price of 5G packages of mainstream operators is generally more than 100 yuan, which is 40% to 60% more expensive than 4G packages of the same grade. However, more than 70% of the traffic actually used by ordinary users every month is consumed through WiFi, and the high-speed advantage of 5G is difficult. To give full play.
However, the potential of 5G in specific fields is emerging. For example, in the field of smart medical care, only 5G can meet the low-latency requirements of remote surgery; in the industrial Internet, real-time data transmission between devices also relies on 5G networks. However, these scenarios are more for enterprise customers and have low daily relevance to ordinary users.
For most people, the core of communication consumption is "enough". If it only meets the basic Internet needs, 4G still has a high cost performance; if there is a need for high-frequency high-flow transmission, or if you are in an area with perfect 5G signal coverage, the upgrade package may be worth trying.
It is worth noting that the iteration of communication technology has been advancing, and enterprises are also providing users with more flexible choices.
Why choose us?
Yaojin Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., the communication optimization equipment it has developed, is helping operators improve the efficiency of 4G networks. At the same time, it is exploring the cost control scheme of 5G in civilian scenarios. In the future, ordinary users can enjoy the convenience of new technology at a more reasonable price.
