Don't be fooled: Comcast's ‘10G’ doesn't mean what you think it does

Comcast says Xfinity offers 10G home internet, but the term "10G" is hazy and potentially misleading—especially because it has no relation to 5G for cell phones.

    Whenever I hear people freaking out about 5g I just point at the angry fucker in the sky and ask how much radiation they think that releases and how dangerous they think it is. I have gotten a surprisingly diverse amount of answers. From “Thats why I want to live underground” to “But its natural” I wanted to punch the second one.

      The sun is a giant radioactive ball of hydrogen that blasts the Earth every day. We have “Sun Outages” 2x a year on every antenna. Power levels that are amazing to measured on a spectrum analyzer, and some tower miles away is gonna kill me. Put in the inverse square law, LOS, atmospheric and structural attenuation and I bet I can barely detect it. No chance its going to anywhere the FCC limit of 10 mW/cm

      Oh and they can go underground, enjoy the radon gas emissions. Way worse than non-ionizing radiation.
