There is so much of this is advertising hype. Is there anywhere I can get a good basic explanation of the difference in systems available? For my own understanding I need some basic information. I'm from an older generation. My mind works best with explanations that are grounded in science rather than populr advertising .
For example, what is a Big B?? as in, " 250 to 400 GB (that's a big B) of data each month."
I think of B as being a symbol for byte, which in turn is a n string of 8 bits of information.
If TMobile has a clear frequency "base" in the 600 mHz band, that makes sense to me. Higher frequency obviously means faster data. What is the span of their base? And what do ATT and Verison do that is different? And why does only TMobile have such a base?
And how does any of this help us rural people? Our internet comes in on the telephone line and we convert it to an in-house network. Everyone I know does the same. Most have satellite for TV, but not for internet.
I have no idea what our speed is, but that is something I am curious about. How to easily check it?
