The 2 main benefits of 5G are better latency and more efficient spectrum use.
The promises of massive speed boosts are mostly marketing and the potential of using new pieces of spectrum
The promises of massive speed boosts were met. 5g is insanely fast compared to 4g in my area, and I don't live in a massive metropolitan area.
LTE with carrier aggregation can get almost as fast as any 5G that I have tested so far.
