content: 5G reviews are coming in. Spoiler: it's going to be a while before it delivers what it promises. I started reading reviews about 5G to understand what people think. Number one, no one is "using" 5G for anything other than bragging rights. The only thing people did with 5G was download movies. I don't think 5G is necessarily for that since people typically watch movies on a hig screen. And if you do download movies, is paying the premium for it worth it? Point two, 5G is very expensive. The phones are averaging about a thousand bucks plus the monthly service charge is much higher than 4G. Point 3, 5G has a very short range so your 5G indicator will be mostly sitting on 4G unless you park yourself in front of a 5G cell. Eventually, there will be 5G cells all over, but until then, you'll have to find where the cells are. Point 4, the actual speeds vary considerably depending on your phone and the 5G cell site. Yes, it's faster than 4G. But it's unlikely you'll notice it unless all you do is download large movies all the time. One last point... yes, 5G is fast, this means you can blow through your data cap in hours instead of days.
