Poll: Wi-Fi has Gotten Better. Do You Really Need 5G?

If you skim any tech literature today, it's plastered with 5G. You can't get away from it! And, honestly, you shouldn't. It will foster a lot of creativity and evolution of products that we use every day (including the classic refrigerator),

But, wait a minute. Wi-Fi has gotten better. As Wi-FI 5 fades into the sunset (sort of) and Wi-Fi 6 becomes the standard, you will get higher data rates, increased capacity., good performance in environments with many connected devices, and improved power efficiency to make your batteries keep on going and going and going.

As Hugo indicates, 5G may be more of a competitor for 4G than Wi-Fi, but I still far prefer fiber. It is just so much healthier and much higher bandwidth to boot. I prefer any solution that decreases RF pollution.

I don't really use wired connections anymore, perhaps because the ethernet ports are on one side of the room and the computer is on the other, WiFi works pretty nice, but I understand that wired is better.
