a lot of telecoms are kind of ignoring 4g/lte deadspots in favor of just putting new NSA 5G cells

That just emphasizes what marketing bullshit 5G is. Telecoms won't properly build out infrastructure to avoid LTE deadspots, and yet are pushing 5G. But ... people say that proper 5G needs many many more cells than LTE!

The 5g signal I get at home is only through T-Mobile's lower bands, which are apparently slower than 4G. It's a bit silly

Its not entirely irrational - if your customers spend 99% of their time in some given area, it could make sense to improve capacity in those areas instead of chasing that last 1% of coverage.

This is why this industry should be nationalized
