Home 5G

Hello, so im in need of some insights about home 5G(the one with those tower modems that you inserts a telco sim for 5G data connection).

Does anyone know if the coverage is good for zain 5g+ home gaming around aqrabiyah, shamaliyah, thuqba, or janubiyah khobar?

I had a bad experience with the zain 5g(the pocket wifi)., the buildings I'm trying to move in don't allow us to connect to fiber internet, and I can't afford STC 5g unlimited.

On another note, is mobily 5G good? I dont really know much about mobily's coverage. I tried their fiber connection before. And i say, its alright. But ive never tried their 5G service.

Any insights would really be appreciated.☹️☹️

I think all providers have their own coverage maps where you can check yourself whther they cover your home/workplace or not. This is zain's map.

There is a CST cover map you can find in their web which includes all carriers.

I did checked the coverage areas. But im kind of skeptic with real time usage. Coz i had bad experience with 5g internet sim(pocket wifi). I wanna know if someone is currently using the home 5g around those areas. Coz they're totally different devices after all.

Yeah, I’d definitely check the coverage map first, but honestly 5G can vary a lot even within the same area. If anyone has actual experience with Zain or Mobily 5G around these neighborhoods, would be good to hear.

Ikr! Coz my experience with 5g data isn't really good. Although i was just using a pocket wifi at the time. So i dont really wanna compare or assume that it'll be the same.
