>There are plenty of home users with 5Ghz only networks
really? is this a configuration that some ISPs are shipping in their routers, or how is this happening? i've never heard of anybody with a 5GHz only home network.
It's certainly somewhat common for more tech savvy folks to go out of their way to ensure their devices use 5Ghz when compatible.
But ISPs? Router manufaturers? No way in hell, why would they self-impose additional support burden by preventing the customer from connecting their 4-5yo old low-end laptop or their shiny new smart bulbs or their brand new Amazon Kindle?
