We present here a poll that you might have seen the results of the public opinion poll published recently, about the 5G rollout and carrier’s plans for 5G home broadband. Over 1,000 Americans were polled.

 

Recently T-Mobile and HarrisX published a study that largely reinforces much those findings.

 

In short:

 

Many consumers aren’t aware of 5G

We found that 59% of consumers didn’t know that carriers are actively working on rolling out 5G The HarrisX poll found that 43% of consumers aren’t even aware of 5G as a technology.

 

Consumers aren’t excited about 5G

Respondents were mostly indifferent to the pending roll-out. 38.1% of respondents in our poll reported that they weren’t excited about the new technology, while 37% of respondents to the HarrisX poll felt the same way.

 

20% of consumers still struggle getting reliable 4G LTE signal

While HarrisX didn’t ask this question, it’s still an important finding: on the eve of the 5G rollout, 19.7% of consumers reported coverage issues with regular 4G LTE signal at home or at work.

 

More details and the rest of the long form data on our poll can be found here, while the results of the HarrisX study are available here.

 

There’s a great deal of consistency between the two report, and the two polls compliment each other well.
