High speed 5G internet may be available by 2020

Scientists are testing the speed for 5G service for the first time, and it may available sooner than you thought.

By 2020, it may just be possible have recording-breaking speeds to mobiles, where you can download 100 movies in just 3 seconds, the Daily Star reported. Researchers at the University of Surrey managed to record an incredible one terabit per second speed during a recent test, and this service is around 65,000 times faster than current 4G speeds.

5GIC director Professor Rahim Tafazolli, said that they had developed 10 more breakthrough technologies and one of them means we can exceed 1Tbps wirelessly. Previous 5G tests, performed by Samsung, had achieved download speeds of around 7.5 gigabits per second which is considerably slower than this latest test.

UK phone regulator Ofcom said it expected 5G mobile to be capable of delivering between 10 and 50Gbps, compared with the 4G average download speed of 15 Megabits per second (Mbps).
