> increase your monthly caps so that you will be able to pay less monthly
You're not going to pay less monthly because you're going to want to stay on the higher caps when the experience is better. YouTube will no longer be capped to 480p so you will use more video streaming bandwidth, etc.
The wireless companies are also looking to eat the wireline companies' lunch. They want you to cancel Comcast for 5G. For that they'll have to have higher caps.
For that, they'll have to get rid of caps. At least for me; I dont have one. And none of this "first 25gb is fast" nonsense. Wifi is where I dont have to worry about how much data I use, so I can download my 30gb vm image. By doing so, I only have to buy a gig of data a month and only use 200mb of that. 5g has the capability to handle it, or if it doesn't, maybe it's not the future after all. At least not for home internet.
For power users like us it will never be a replacement. But I know plenty of people who already use 4G as their home internet. The complain about congestion during the evening and hitting their cap at the end of the month, and some switch to fiber. Going from a 30 GB to a 300 GB cap, they would be serves perfectly.
