The moment 5G fails live on air - BBC News

The BBC's Clive Myrie was attempting to talk to a reporter about the launch of 5G whilst using the technology to broadcast live from central London, but the network cut out. The presenter apologised to viewers saying, 'I'll have to interrupt you because bizarrely the 5G line isn't working properly'.

Best commercial for _4G_ I have ever seen.

LMAO! It's cool of BBC to still upload this and make fun of themselves...

[endahynes]

This is one of those moments when you do something amazing then when you show it to someone then it fails

[flying_sheep]

When you have £1000 budget for a flagship phone but only £10 for the data plan

The PRISM pgm responded to the guy 0:23 and stole the packet data.

LOL. The data plan for the 5G sim card ran out. Cheapskate BBC.

I must say, you've got to respect the BBC for being completely honest and transparent and posting this snippet online. I think it is one of the few news agencies that still strive for impartial, unbiased news reporting, and you honestly can't get much more unbiased than showing your own hiccups. Well done BBC

Plot twist: 5G worked perfectly fine. It was the WiFi at the station that broke up.

It seems BBC want to tell people the unstability of Huawei device other than the limited data of reporter's mobile plan.

like always. never works like you expect

I currently get up to 65Mbps on Three 4G, in Devon. Quicker than my landline

[banpojpromthep]

Respect BBC!
You've known that fails but still upload this clip.

[landkuluze]

Because they run out of 5G traffic. That's why Carlton

[satyasyasatyasya]

Never adopt new technology early. Never.

[chriswhitenack]

This makes me happy in some weird, fail in public eye kind of way.

[meloD]

This is live production in a nutshell. No amount of testing will prepare you for the inevitable issues once you go live.
I need to show clients this when they ask about live streaming.

[BitDecrypt]

I assume this upload is in relation to the Huawei us ban

[c-nrneb]

Acquiring the new,
5g technology= Hundreds of $

Implementing the new,
5g technology= Thousands of $

Anchorman’s face reacting to the failure of the new,
5g technology= Priceless
😆 😂 🤣 😆 😂 🤣

EXPLAIN that, due to the limit of SIM card, the phone cant receive so much data, so the phone went down. After change a new card, it runs well

[benyuan]

obviously someone from somewhere tried to destroy Huawei's credit
