3G 4G 5G conspiracy

I remember 12 years ago I used to play counter strike with my 3G dongle, it wasnt perfect but it was very much playable. 3G was fast.
Then 7-8 years ago they brought out commercials about 4G and fucks sake man, I got it with my first smart phone and that was super fast.
And now, 4G starting to lag ffs!!! They doing it to make u switch to friggin 5G

Phone data is too expensive here for me to care about the speed. If I'm out of the house and need to kill some time, I might browse some web pages but I never really watch video.
I mostly just use the internet on my computer. My home connection is 70 Mbit down, 10 up.

It's coronavirus lock-in people watching porn and having zoom meetings that's clogging up the net.
It's not a conspiracy to radiate your gonads with towers or anything.

3G and 4G are both fast enough to run any game. You could probably play Counter Strike on a 2G connection without any issues. It's not really the speed that matters so much as the available bandwidth on the network. And that's why 5G is being released in most larger cities and will continue to do so. As more and more people start to use cell tower internet for their fridges and porn addictions, the existing bandwidth on the older architecture gets smaller and smaller by the day.
Bandwidth in this context isn't solely the available internet download speed, so much as the independent radio frequencies available to broadcast on (ie: the time segments you have available to access the network). Each frequency is being used by everyone on the network at the same time, and many end users are using the same frequencies as each other (it just gets divided into micro seconds per data stream to each user). 5G opens up the available bandwidth to support more users on a single network, as well as decreasing network latency. The kicker is that most of these frequency bands do not travel for 10, 20, 30 miles like the ones on 4G and 3G towers do, significantly less so. Instead it uses smaller towers that go about 1500 feet from the antenna.

Power transmission is in the mW range unlike a Microwave Oven which is in the kW range so our gonads should be ok.

I think that is common practice. Didn't Apple get untroubled for making their older phones lag and whatnot, so you'd buy the newest?

Yes.
"Apple has been fined 25 million euros (£21m, $27m) for deliberately slowing down older iPhone models without making it clear to consumers. In 2017, Apple confirmed that it did slow down some iPhones, but said it only did so to "prolong the life" of the devices."
F Apple, seriously.

^that kind of shit and they have suicide nets on their buildings. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/664296/secretive-iPhone-factory-safety-nets-stop-suicides-Apple-Petagron witch is actually near the bottom of my "hate the Chinese list"
I don't know if 5g has the ability to be used as a weapon or not (most things do). I think the conspiracy is they need more bandwidth for the dystopic nightmare future where everything is connected to the net and we all have social credit scores like China. Total surveillance and submission.

I'm not sure if wrapping your balls in foil will help protect them or help roast them nicely.
