minus-squareprettybunnys@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoWhat’s wild is I assumed that they had created a fake “5G” like name to fool people into thinking it was a 10Gbps network when it’s exactly the opposite. Weird.
minus-squareSeaJ@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoKind of. It is the aspiration for 10Gb connections. They have been using the term well before those were a possibility even in a lab.
