The Implications of Manchester’s 5G in Online Casino Gaming
Manchester is now in the upper echelon of the UK's 5G implementation efforts. The rollout plan aims to cover all of UK’s major cities by 2030. RootMetrics wants to check if 5 G could make a difference to the average user.
Online casinos represent a diverse cross-section of internet usage patterns. Some of the more advanced of these games involve live video streaming. If online casinos work fine, so too will most other websites and services.
Manchester 5G users can expect speeds between 115.7 and 168.9 Mbps. This is faster than the old 56k dialup connection. However, the higher bandwidth and lower latency of 5g is not always noticeable. Online casinos operate on the current HTML and compression technologies. Even playing demanding streaming games requires less than 5 Mbps, which is 30 times more overhead than what 5Gs offer.
Manchester's 5G network is a tipping point of the internet getting ahead of its own time. It might not be useful for casino players, general browsers in 2021, but it will be very useful in the future.
