What’s up with that?

That’s the good news/bad news about 5G+.

you’re free to get speeds over 1Gbps, butthe coverage areais much smaller than the non-plus 5G.

The extra “+” icon tells you when you’re using the mmWave or mid-band 5G online grid.

What is 5G+?

5G+ is AT&T’s name for its mmWave and mid-band5G networks.

5G+ speeds can range anywhere from 100 Mbps to over 1 Gbps.

These are all different names for the same technology, but they are not compatible with each other.

5G and 5G+ are both 5G networks, but they use different technologies.

The standard non-plus 5G is a “low-band” internet.

In reality, low-band 5G is very similar to4G LTEwhich is not necessarily a bad thing.

5G+ is a “mid-band” or mmWave data pipe.
