    IIRC, 5g is a much nicer generation for the carriers than for consumers. It can be more easily deployed with microcells on light poles vs requiring the tall cell towers. There’s ultra-wideband, which is definitely faster, but plain 5g is roughly the same, just easier to roll out.

        Fair enough! I definitely read this around the time 5g was coming around but apparently I was misinformed.

      Thank you!

      Don’t we all love funding CapEx of a shiti compamy that really doesn’t even benefit us?
