  Wait until you experience 5G UW, then you’ll be begging for the stability of standard 5G

    Maybe they’ll finally fix it with 5G UwU!

    The biggest issue is that 5G is very easily blocked by objects, including humans. It’s unavoidably very hard to get a strong stable signal in crowded places. In my humble opinion, the extra speed just isn’t worth the trade-off 🤷🏼

      If that would be true I’d not be getting excellent zone in my concrete jungle. You’re thinking of short-wavelength (mmWave) 5G which is rarely used (mostly in dense population areas like event venues), but most utilized towers run on similar frequencies as 4G.

        Well maybe it’s not the blocking then. But my experience has been getting 5G signal for 3 seconds, my video deciding to up the streaming quality to 4K, then losing the signal and the video buffering for 5 seconds as my phone regrets its choices. Having set it to prefer 4G I no longer have any issues.
