Is 5G really good? (self.technology)

I've heard multiple issues with 5G, like range and stuff, effectively sacrificing range and reliability for even more speed just so that companies can market it better. Do you think 5G is a downgrade compared to 4G?

The problem is most services advertising 5G don't actually meet 5G specifications.

It's cool though, because the same thing happened with 4G and 3G.

A lot of it not only depends on your provider, but the cell tower you connect to.

5G at my home is trash tier, but it doesn't matter because I'm on WiFi at home.
