Beijing has begun to popularize Gigabit broadband on a large scale this year, and citizens can say goodbye to the annoying buffer waiting problem when watching online video. The common feature of 5G and Gigabit broadband is that it can achieve ultra-high speed download speed of 1G or more per second. When 5G base stations and 5G mobile phones are not yet popular, Gigabit broadband has officially appeared in Beijing on a large scale.
