Typical speeds for "current G + 1" is always high and mysteriously gets significantly lower when "current G + 2" gets introduced. Rinse and repeat.

I'm not sure how come everyone is so highly interested in this churn of networking equipment, it's especially bizarre that telecoms are interested in it (it's a major expense for them), but there you go.

To me 5G is a bit like IPv6. Technically it's better, technically we need it, but in practice we're good enough already. And this is why still a lot of Internet is on IPv4. But thanks to this constant marketing, 5G doesn't have this issue. I'm neutral about it, but I can't care less if my next phone has 5G or not.
