Elisa 5G+ - Itsenäinen 5G-yhteys on täällä!

Sorry for English Language in Advance.

I just found out about Elisa Offering SA, I got real excited for about 10 minutes until the realization of how Elisa are initially offering the service. 

How it is currently offered (5g+ with new subscription) leaves me personally not buying into the energy efficiency aspect for one moment right now. As it is, to provide SA requires more energy than what is already used to offer NSA. Only after consumers switch from NSA to SA in large numbers can one even talk about energy savings. Then, when one looks at the manual intervention required to get SA enabled on mobile devices, I see your average user not even understanding they need to switch and end up thinking its done automatically.

I get that Elisa want initial roleout to be a premium service, but there is a consumer base totally ignored that are very interested in SA connectivity for their routers purely for its low latency improvements.

How SA is offered right now is nothing more than an overpriced gimmick that offers the consumer no real world benefit they will notice (apart from in their wallet).

While I am happy that Elisa are upgrading 5G services, I think more should be invested in coverage. Take Lemu and surrounding area in Varsinais-Suomi for example, There is no stable 5G here like the map says unless your using external antennas and 4G in the area is congested most evenings. The coverage maps for 5G leave much to be desired.

I’m personally left feeling the only positive right now for me with SA roleout is potential downside pressure on 5G NSA subscription fees.

For anyone in Elisa’s marketing department.. Consider offering a side service to current 5G mobile broadband customers to allow low latency SA connection using the their current standard 5G bandwidth rate for a small extra monthly fee (say 5 euro).

Oletko kokeillut laittaa siis “erillistila”:n päälle ja *#*#4636#*#* valikosta pakotus “NR Only”? Eikä yhdistä edelleenkään? En tosin ole varma löytyykö nuo tuosta luurista, itselläni 11 Lite 5G. (Ei ole SA-liittymää, niin NR Only tilassa ei yhdistä luuri mihinkään.)
