But the median 5G download speed across all mobile carriers around the world is around 70 megabits per second (Mbps), according to Speedcheck’s 5G Index. If 6G can practically deliver day-to-day speeds anywhere near its theoretical max, that would make 6G up to 13,400 times faster than average 5G.

UCL researchers set a new wireless transmission record, achieving speeds of 938 Gb/s over a frequency range of 5-150 GHz, which is up to 9,380 times faster than average UK 5G speeds. This breakthrough,
