Not true, radio has a very, very, very limited bandwidth. Internet pass petabytes of data every second, there simply not enough spectrum in usable radio space to accomplish this. 🐶🐾🫡

I’m talking connectivity, not bandwidth. Although the network can keep a connection open via radio with just a few bits/sec.
“Efficient link establishment
Total bandwidth cost of setting up a link is only 3 packets, totalling 297 bytes
Low cost of keeping links open at only 0.44 bits per second”

Also, from the wiki posted within the issue:
“Data rates up to 347 Mbit/s are achieved only with the maximum of four spatial streams using one 16 MHz-wide channel.”
“It uses the 802.11a/g specification that is down sampled to provide 26 channels, each of them able to provide 100 kbit/s throughput. It can cover a one-kilometer radius.”
