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?

    I don’t feel it’s a downgrade at all. I get nearly as good download as my home connection and significantly faster upload. Never had any issues with 5G or 5G UC. T-mobile and iPhones.

      Yeah 5g has been decent enough for me to stream games to my phone with steamlink

      The problem is true 5G is high frequency and very low range, requiring towers everywhere. Also realistically we don’t even need these speeds on mobile devices, what it should’ve been is a better 4G with more reliability and better performance in crouded areas.
