5g speeds are much better than 4g in real world applications, 4g is glacial

Short of being near a 5g tower, 5g always sucked for me to the point that I turned 5g off on my phone.

if you mean high band 5g, yeah its not useful unless you're right by a tower

but as even mid-band gets to more and more places, it will by far be better for most people

Maybe it isn't needed now. But 10 years from now it might be. Imagine trying to upload a video format that hasn't been invented yet, on primitive 4G

shit, even 8k that exists now and is possible to record on modern smart phones would be miserable on 4g
