5G: How fast

5G speeds will vary between locations, countries, carriers and devices, but on the whole the average internet speed you can expect should be much greater than what's currently offered on 4G.


We've been testing the first 5G networks in the US, UK, and Australia, and have found speeds to be a little bit of a mixed bag.

While some of the mmWave networks - most reliably, Verizon in the US - regularly provide over 1 Gbps as promised, their coverage is spotty and minimal. Sprint's mid-band 2.5Ghz 5G service covers more area and reliably offers speeds in the 200Mbps, which is less impressive but still far superior to typical 4G LTE speeds.



In the UK, EE's network maxed out at 550Mbps, but spotty coverage resulted in speeds averaging 200Mbps-400Mbps.

Aprilia RS 660 Will Be Available With An A2 Compliant Variant

European licensing standards dictate that A2 motorcycles must have a power output of no more than 47 horsepower. This puts sub 400cc motorcycles such as the KTM 390 Duke, and the Kawasaki Ninja 400 as prime examples of bikes European riders can upgrade into from their A1 bikes. There is, however, another option for A2 license holders. Restriction kits for higher displacement motorcycles such as the Yamaha MT-07 and Kawasaki Z650  can be installed, limiting the performance of these machines, thereby making them A2 compliant. The benefit of this is that once time comes for the rider to progress into a full-fledged A license, the restrictor kit can simply be removed, allowing the rider to experience the full potential of their machine. This is perhaps what Aprilia will be offering after they announced that the much anticipated RS 660 will have an A2 license friendly variant when it launches later this year. After making waves at EICMA, the RS 660 has raised a lot of interest in ...
