When will BSNL offer 1 Gbps speeds?

[Lobogris]

What?

You know Wi-Fi 5 aka 802.11ac has always been able to give gigabit+ bandwidth, right?

Now we have Wi-Fi 6 aka 802.11ax. Wi-Fi 6 has the base speed of 1.2Gbps.

If your router and client device is Wi-Fi 6 certified. 1 Gbps minimum wireless bandwidth is basically a guarantee if the range is decent and there's no bottlenecking.

In theory. In real life you are lucky to get around 500Mbps. That too with expensive equipment on both router and client side.

A 4Mbit DSL connection costs 156000 CFCA in Niger (almost 18k INR a month).

That price is for a 1Mbps connection, not 4Mbps.

800 mbps on wifi 5? Can you confirm the specs?

What specs? I already said my laptop has the Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 NIC.
My college had gigabit+ connectivity.
If you're asking about the router that they used, I already graduated.

Not necessarily expensive. You gotta understand that OEMs sell uncertified Wi-Fi equipment for branding purposes. No MIMO, no nothing.

But you can save money and time simply by using this to find a device that fits your budget.

@Dark_Nate , According to your lap intel spec, its a 2x2 mimo on 5ghz with a theoretical speed itself of only 866 Mhz. And you got gigabit+ actual speeds??

No we dont . Its big news to us Wifi5 router owners. Please provide some video or screenshot from the net to backup your claim.

I'd like to share a video. Its of Lew from unbox therapy, testing wifi 6. Even he's able to hit about 850 mbps only on wifi 6.

unbox therapy tests some WiFi 6 router's speed...

Recent study has revealed that Wifi router especially 5Ghz Wifi5 and Wifi6 ones cause significant decrease in sperm count (20-30%) when you sit at 1-2 feet from them. Most have wifi router on their computer tables. Always be 10-15 ft away from any wireless router if you are planning for a baby. Speed decreases if you move away. So compromise on wifi speed a bit and avoid gigabit connections. BSNL not giving out 1 gigabit connection is a blessing in disguise.
/twisted rant !!!!

Wi-Fi is not actually bad for your health, scientists say

Wireless electronics have used 2.4 and 5 GHz radio frequencies for years. These are not harmful, nor is any property unique to Wi-Fi harmful, according to new scientific evidence.

Don't you know Wi-Fi alliance just started certifying Wi-Fi 6 in December 2019? There's no popular client device that supports Wi-Fi 6 yet.

This was 2018 video. Now that we will get proper Wi-Fi 6 client devices, gigabit Wi-Fi is easily possible.

I think there is no more discussion needed on this topic.
@Sushubh please lock this thread.
