Currently apple iPhones are not supported and a new phone will need to be released before you can benefit from this new service.


It’s 50 times faster the 4G but with a price increase on data charges along with a cost of a new phone.


It should be able to offer download speeds of around 1Gb/s (gigabits per second) - maybe even 10Gb/s. That would make it possible to download an HD movie in just 10 seconds rather than around 10 minutes, as is currently the case.
