For me, unless the 5g has truly unlimited usage, data caps (even slowdowns) would be a bigger deal than the latency.

One provider in my area does 1Gbit truly unlimited, the other has 1Gbit but with 1.2TB caps (which we would probably hit each month)

That’s a good point as well, and people should likely check their own current cap as well, because a lot of people don’t realize they have a cap already.
