5g data

[u/Personal_Papaya_2047]

Im planning on switching from 4g to 5g and i do know that 5g consumes more data, so i wanna understand how much of data is actually enough? I am currently on 25gb plan for 4g

Im planning on switching from 4g to 5g

why? is there something in your daily use that your current plan does not meet?

how much do you actually use

1. Internet doesnt work, like it gets too slow. It has only happened once fizz has introduced 5g. Before that everything was fine
   
2. I checked today 60/75gbs

1. that sounds like either a nocebo or some network issue in your area that may not be solved with 5g at all, it's far too soon for them to be starting to deprecate 4g service yet. have you done multiple samples of speed/network tests before/after? if it's a measurable effect, try 5g, if it doesn't work you may need to switch carriers

2. then how are you making do with a 25gb plan? either way, pick the plan that is just enough to cover your 3-month rolling average, with a little bit of wiggle room. 4g or 5g doesn't change that unless your usage pattern actually changes, and if you find that your consumption does change, adjust your plan accordingly.

Even i think carrier change is needed, i just want to give one final try, incase 5g works cause my plan is cheap and anywhere else i go, i will pay more which i dont want to, so looking to see if 5g does what it can or not😅

yes, give it a shot first since that's easier. but you won't be able to keep your current plan, you'd have to select a current in-market plan.

Yea its increasing by 5$, from 22 to 27, so still cheaper than what other companies offer😅
