I've noticed that while 5G is not much faster than 4G, it seems to be more reliable.
With 4G I'd get max speeds of 30mbps but often times it would be under 1mpbs, or dialup speeds if in a stadium.
With 5G, the max speed is more like 80mbps and it handles crowded spaces much better than 4G.
Hah!
5G for me is 600mbps peak, but 300mbps is common. Budget providers offer capped versions at 100-150mbps.
No microwave stuff, just normal 5G.
