What about on a plane? I get quite a bit switch play in on flights.


Exactly. Or underground on a subway. Or in a bus next to a mountain. Or in a very congested area with tons of people on their phones dragging on the network. Or in a building that blocks service.

Every day of my life I am in all of those above situations, and I almost exclusively game on the go, either on my Vita or Switch.

5G doesn't make these problems just vanish, the US is a massive country and the middle of the mountains just won't have 60fps streaming capabilities in 5 years, it just won't. Why would any company want to spend the money on that infrastructure outside of a few major cities?


If spacex is successful with starlink [0], you probably would be able to play it on a plane.
