Comcast advertising “10G” in hopes to confuse consumers to accept slower speeds::Comcast says Xfinity offers 10G home internet, but the term “10G” is hazy and potentially misleading—especially because it has no relation to 5G for cell phones.

The 5G cancer thing is laughable, C-band and Ka-band have been in use for years. I have been around them (plus X/Ku/L/S bands) for decades I’m still here. I have been exposed accidentally over 1000x times the FCC limits for more than a short time in the 90’s and am still here. Non ionizing radiation isnt that bad.
You know (other than the accidental breaches) is the worst leaking device onsite. The microwave oven.
Whenever I hear people freaking out about 5g I just point at the angry fucker in the sky and ask how much radiation they think that releases and how dangerous they think it is. I have gotten a surprisingly diverse amount of answers. From “Thats why I want to live underground” to “But its natural” I wanted to punch the second one.
The sun is a giant radioactive ball of hydrogen that blasts the Earth every day. We have “Sun Outages” 2x a year on every antenna. Power levels that are amazing to measured on a spectrum analyzer, and some tower miles away is gonna kill me. Put in the inverse square law, LOS, atmospheric and structural attenuation and I bet I can barely detect it. No chance its going to anywhere the FCC limit of 10 mW/cm
Oh and they can go underground, enjoy the radon gas emissions. Way worse than non-ionizing radiation.
I didn’t need that last part bro I’m just tryna eat a burrito
I mean. Our microwave is one of those cheap countertop versions in our walk in pantry. I always leave the pantry if I run it. And tell my kids the same.
Probably paranoia but their head is like, perfect height for the door on that thing.
The 5G cancer paranoia isn’t even based on any specific frequency that they think is causing cancer, because they think 5G itself is a frequency. They’re just opposed to anything new and so they search for arguments that justify their feelings. I guarantee this whole thing will pop up again when we get around to 6G, even if the frequencies are all exactly the same as 5G. It’s just the way idiots are
I never thought of it that way, how people really have no understanding of RF. Thank you for the new perspective, hopefully I can use that info to talk people off the ledge.
