New Report Reveals the Satellite Tech Myths Americans still Believe in 2020

Los Angeles, Calif., September 22, 2020-- Highspeedinternet.com surveyed 1,000 Americans to find out what they believed about today’s latest technologies, including 5G cellular networks and low-Earth orbit satellites from Space X’s Starlink network. Their findings are a little surprising, including: 

  • 25% (1 in 4) of those surveyed say they believe 5G internet towers can make you sick or unwell.
  • 86% of those surveyed say that 5G internet will replace 4G internet (this isn’t true - 5G actually uses the old 4G network.)
  • 17% of those surveyed believe that ‘5Ge’ internet is 5G internet (spoiler: it’s not.)
  • 1 in 3 (33%) of those surveyed believe low-orbit satellites (or “satellite trains”) will ruin the view of the night sky, and 36% of those surveyed believed it will ruin astronomists’ views of planets and stars.
  • The report also includes a list of tech myths the website busted last year, including that 17% of people think that Macs can’t get viruses.
