Unfortunately, Wi-Fi handoffs suck donkey balls compared to cell tower handoffs when moving. It's fine when you're stationary, but walking down the street, and shifting from one wifi hotspot to the next, you're going to be dropping and re-establishing connections with a new endpoint IP address every time. If we solve the issue of endpoint identity on a connection independent of the transport, so that your video stream of the game doesn't have to stop and restart every time you shift from one access point to the next, I could definitely see wi-Fi beating 5G. Otherwise, I think 5G will win, in terms of better user experience when non-stationary. Matt On Mon, Dec 30, 2019 at 12:04 PM Mark Tinka <mark.tinka () seacom mu> wrote:

I posit that in many locations where abundant bandwidth to your phone is required, a vast majority of suitable wi-fi options exist, and you (and others) use one or more of them. Wi-fi will beat 5G, over the long term. Mark.
