One of the common questions that we encounter is why are 5G speeds so low as we were promised 5G downlink speeds of 20 Gbps. Most people do not understand how the 5G speeds are calculated and what do they depend on. In many cases, the network won’t be capable of delivering higher speeds due to some or the other limitation.
In a new presentation, I try to explain the theoretical speeds and compare them with real world 5G data rates and even try to map it to why these speeds are what they are. Hopefully people won't mind me adding some humour as I go along.

Embedded below is the Twitter thread on Speedtests 😂
Speed Tests are 5G killer app 😉, @HarriHolma provides details in replies: Elisa 100 MHz 5G (8T8R radio) on 3.5 GHz with LTE dual connectivity (EN-DC). LTE phone gives 200-250 Mbps in the same spot. The configuration uses L800+L1800+L2100 #5GKillerApp https://t.co/5ZnS2UeFkL
