It just seems like the entire industry is desperate for us to give a shit about 5G. I don't, sorry. To me this is similar to the 4K and 8K HDR TV craze. I don't plan on ever owning an 80" TV. At 30-40" 1080p looks great to me. I don't see giving a shit about this either. Most of the time I am near decent wifi. When I am not, I can always wait to download something huge (and really don't have a need to download something huge on my phone).
Now if they could just work on the audio quality and latency over regular wire-line networks, that I would be interested in. LTE to LTE calls already sound great, so I think there are some upgrades to the wired side of things that are required (which the likes of Verizon never want to do because it is more expensive/a lower margin business than wireless so they neglect it and regulators don't hold their feet to the fire).
I guess I am just too cheap to pony up for an unlimited plan. I never stream video over the cellular connection, and rarely stream audio. I don’t see this changing unless unlimited plans get cheaper. I currently have fiber to the home for less than $70/month, and cannot imagine giving that up for any kind of wireless solution.
