Mobile internet for everyone and everything
1G, 2G, 3G? 5G Comes With Us
1G, 2G or 3G? With so many rules, it’s easy to lose track. We don’t want to make things complicated but keep it simple: 5G on all Digital Republic subscriptions. At no extra cost. No more, no less. It’s as simple as that.
5G Technology for Everyone
Ab sofort ist die 5G-Technologie auf allen Digital Republic Abos kostenlos verfügbar. Das heisst, dass dein Gerät für das 5G-Netz freigeschaltet ist, egal ob du mit Flat 10, Flat 50 oder Flat 300 surfst. Als Neukund:in kommst du beim Kauf einer SIM-Karte oder eSIM automatisch in den Genuss der 5G-Technologie. Als bestehende:r Kund:in musst du 5G erst im Kundenportal aktivieren.
Of course, this only applies if the necessary requirements for 5G are met. Therefore, make sure that you have a 5G-capable device. There should also be a 5G antenna near you. If it’s not, even the latest 5G device won’t be of much use. If you are not sure, you can check the network coverage for your location.
5G at Digital Republic
Thanks to 5G technology, the best conditions for a faster Internet connection are given. Basically, however, your subscription still serves as a reference point for your Internet speed. Upgrading to 5G will not increase the bandwidth you select, but will make it more likely that you are able to use the speed more often due to various factors.
So what are these factors? Primarily, thanks to 5G, you benefit from a more stable connection with a more constant speed and lower latency. In other words, communication can take place in real time with fewer delays and websites respond faster. This can be particularly advantageous for gaming and streaming.
The better Internet connection does not only result from the 5G technology itself, but mainly from the fact that the network load can now be distributed between the 5G and LTE networks. By operating both network technologies simultaneously, larger capacities can be handled. With 5G technology, you can therefore achieve speeds that were not possible on the 4G network.
