    What? 4k is literally a resolution, usually 3840x2160 or something around that. 1080p is another resolution, usually 1920x1080. These are never comparable.

    The G in 5G stands for generation. This has nothing to do with quality or speed, but it sets an upper limit. You can have 5G that is absolute shit or 5G which is state of the art fastest speed available (until 6G comes out).

      I know these things. Doesn’t change what I was saying though.

      Netflix has been advertising content in 4k and then streaming it at a lower resolution.

      Likewise, the advertising for 5g leads you to believe that it is somehow vastly improved from the previous generation when no guarantee of that exists.

      But most importantly, all of this is stemming from a one line joke—it was never a serious comment on 5g or 4k definitions. I’m surprised that you took it that way.
