Replace your Home Internet

5G speeds are already poised to beat out your home broadband connection, and the technology is designed to support multiple devices without the congestion problems that plague LTE and even older Wi-Fi standards, so the day will come when home broadband routers are a thing of the past, and everything in your house just connects to the internet directly.

That said, it’s not going to happen right out of the gate — it will still take a couple of years before the prices come down to make it cost-effective for the average user, not to mention the need to address the obvious security issues of having every device in your home connected directly to the internet, rather than behind the natural firewall that your home router generally provides.
