Had the chance to test the 5G while having lunch at the Commercial Bay in Auckland.

 

 

Pretty good, actually! Too bad it is only available (in some areas) in the CBD.

It’s good to see 5G being rolled out. Looking at Auckland coverage, Vodafone appears to have the more mature 5G coverage and it’s not uncommon to see the 5G icon pop up throughout Auckland.

Performance wise, you can get some fairly impressive speed tests…

Remember folks - a Speedtest at this speed will cost you around 1.2gb of data :)

Oh I remember those days. It was around 300Mb back then and data caps were nothing like today!
