Like you, I never feel needing more with a good LTE connection. It's faster than I've ever needed.

Having said that, the promise of 5G is that it brings such an enormous bandwidth from a frequency perspective that it literally could be a broadly distributed very high speed connection technology for fixed locations. Purportedly one of the reasons Google abandoned their fiber project was that ultra-high speed for huge numbers of users with 5G would make fixed infrastructure for the last mile redundant. We'll see.

I'll take actually getting LTE speeds consistently (and getting the advertised speeds from my ISP) over a move to 5g any day.
