What is 5G home internet?
5G home internet uses a mobile network to connect you to the internet. So if your phone gets good reception and your address is covered by 5G, it's actually a good option to consider.
In fact, 5G home internet is what's come to be known as an alternative to the NBN. There are no wires, either copper or fibre-optical cable and no installation required as such.
All you have to do is plug in the modem supplied by the provider, pop in a SIM card into the modem itself and voila, you're online!
