Tech Talk #1 – What is the difference between 5G and 5 Gig?
Awareness | Published: August 12, 2025

5G means 5th Generation Mobile Network and is primarily used by mobile carriers for cellular networks, enabling wireless internet access for mobile devices and some fixed wireless Internet services.
5 Gig means Internet speeds of 5 gigbits/second. This is a measure of how much data can be transferred over an Internet connection in a given amount of time. It offers ultra-fast speeds, allowing for faster downloads, streaming, and online activities.
While 5G offers significant speed improvements, it doesn’t typically reach the ultra-fast speeds which allow for faster downloads, streaming and online activities that 5 Gig does.
