Gamers, stock traders, and augmented reality users depend on a low-latency network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Network testing tools such as Ookla and PingPlotter are familiar ways to measure these metrics. While 4G has decent latency for everyday use, 5G takes it to another level by practically eliminating delays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine that with the ability to stream a live sporting event or join a video conference, your signal does not lag by one verse. This might be a crapshoot on 4G, particularly in places heavily populated with users.
