I'm tired of the nG bullshit. I can't get magic hundreds of megabits.

Not even real 5G is deployed (the 5G is falsely advertised) in my country. Licenses for 5G frequencies have been bought by telcos a few months ago.

Not even real 5G deployed

Yeah, I lived in London and have never caught real 5G. No longer there, yet still have never detected real 5G. At least here in the UK, they seem to have opted in for NR/NSA (New radio/Non-standalone) which gives you some of the speed boost, but none of the other advantages such as the full speeds we can get, the better privacy features like modern encryption standards.

For more info, there is an app called Privacy Cell on F-Droid. You can look through the info in the hamburger menu -> protocols Link: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.stoutner.privacycell/
