G5 picked up 5G through the portal to the human world? It only took about 200 years to go from the first wired communications to where we are today, and though G4 was still more set in the late 1800s, they had a handful of technologies that would have been present in the 1980s, so it's not as big of a leap as it may seem.

Since ponies lost their magic, they needed to upgrade their outdated technology, which involved electricity and internet there.
