That’s basically why 5G is 3 different things glue together.
There’s low frequency (long range) that’s basically just LTE with some icing.
There’s medium range and quite a bit faster (I can get 1Gbps down in some areas)
And the. There’s mmWave or super short range 5G. That’s designed for concerts and other events with a ton of people crammed into a small area. But even that struggles at time.
Even 3.5G was plenty for me. I could get 30Mbps down on that and that was PLENTY for most 1080p YouTube content. LTE at the time was barely any faster, and at some points became slower with congestion.
