It does warn you on startup about the download if you're not on wifi.

Good time to try 5G ultra capacity if you have it on an unlimited plan - will be faster than most people's wifi.

I reached 3Gbps over Verizon 5G in San Antonio last year and this year i get about 4Mbps over Verizon 5G in Ohio. It’s so bad I disabled it. I did read an article that iPhone 12 (which is what I have) have some kind of radio issue with 5G. Can anyone in here confirm?

Verizon has been real wonky all over Austin. If there's more than a handful of people in the area, bandwidth just goes to the crapper. I'll go from a couple hundred mbps on a good day with no clouds/wind/holding my phone just perfectly right in the right space, but usually get less than 1mbps on their 5g UW.
Yeah, its really bad. I keep having to disable 5G.
