Introduction

A person tested 5G internet from three big companies in small towns in the US.

Main Body

The person drove for 15 hours in Iowa and Wisconsin. They used three Samsung phones and a special app to check the signal. T-Mobile had 5G signals most of the time. However, Verizon had a stronger signal in many places. AT&T was in the middle. Sometimes the internet stopped working in Wisconsin. T-Mobile had 5G, but the signal was often weak.

Conclusion

5G is growing, but the signal is still not great in small towns.

Learning

⚡️ Comparing Things

When we want to say one thing is 'more' than another, we change the word.

The Pattern:

  • Strong →\rightarrow Stronger

From the text:

  • "Verizon had a stronger signal."

How to use it:

  1. Pick a simple word (Fast, Big, Small).
  2. Add -er to the end.
  3. Use it to compare two things.

Example: Phone A is fast. Phone B is faster. →\rightarrow Phone B is faster than Phone A.

📍 Small Town Words

Notice these words used for places:

  • Countryside: Land away from the city.
  • Small towns: Places with fewer people than cities.

Tip: Use "in the" before countryside (e.g., I live in the countryside).
