In our area the company that owns the 3 network are trying to get permission from the LA planning dept to install Very high masts to overcome it seems the poor signal strength of the 5g. network ,and the areas they want to install these monsters,are not considered by the company just hoping it seems there will be nil or little opposition ,

So be warned as the applications and letters to local residents are very few ,it is only by word of mouth from neighbours,that they are coming to light,

One application near us was very near a primary school

Another was in a conservation area ,and was onl picked up by the local history society,

Is 5G really progress? I can understand its usefulness in a tight location from a central node but, for universal coverage, it's a step backwards with very limited range. I'd sooner have a 4G connection that I can get a signal from than a super fast 5G one that drops out if I move another 10 metres from my current position.

It's a bit like these sooper-dooper 256K ultra ultra definition TVs or whatever the latest spec is. If the human eye can't tell the difference, what is the point.

It is progress. What on earth else could it be?

Fear not, CY, you won't be forced to use 5G.

They have no choice but to install more masts because of the limited 5g signal range. Logically they may be smaller but also much more prolific.

The 5g masts being mooted for this area are at first 15mtr with another 10mtr possible with a quite large array at the top In many at this time not needed for the

The trunking that was installed when we han town wide TV and radio transmitted has been super ceded by the cable companies and all all the underground ducts are now full ,so if any house has a cable fault the area has to be dug up to splice anothe cable in

The Human eye can tell the difference. I use 4K throughout my home entertainment systems. If a person has grown used to 4K content a drop down to 2k is noticeable, 1080p isn’t fuzzy vision but alongside 2 & 4K it is. 24hr news is no longer HD & it shows🤷🏻‍♂️. If the inability to see tree leaf in different shades isn’t an issue good but I like watching nature as if it’s in my room not in a dingy Pub snug🙁
