I think 5G is highly over rated. I seriously doubt it will have the speeds it is claimed by the Big Phone companies. It is rather short range as far as signal goes, so unless they greatly increase the number of towers it won’t be very useful in the suburbs, and rural areas probably won’t have it at all. It can be beneficial, perhaps, in highly populated areas like big cities with a lot of high occupancy apartment towers. But other than that I think it will be a dud. And companies like T-Mobile which has about half the towers of AT&T and Verizon will likely have an even less useful 5G coverage. My LTE T-Mobile coverage is marginal even in the suburbs of Dallas/Fort Worth. Out in the countryside it is pretty bad. I assume their 5G coverage will be pathetic. I also know companies like AT&T and Verizon love to screw over customers when it comes to data usage, so don’t expect to replace your high speed WiFi with 5G.
