Well this is extremely satisfying.

A new report from OpenSignal has found that AT&T's "5G Evolution" ("5G E") actually delivers slower service than Verizon's and T-Mobile's advanced LTE network. The report, released Friday, provides some hard data to illustrate what we already knew: that 5G E is a marketing ploy that has little to do with the promised high speeds of true 5G.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
