    I’m so sick of hearing about 5G my god why is it in everyone’s mind so much? I’ve been able to stream a youtube video at 720 over 4g for a while now what do you need to do faster than that on a phone?? I’m a big tech nerd but this literally doesn’t affect me.

      It may not affect you, but it does affect me. 5G helps greatly with congestion. We have a holiday home in a skiing resort in Switzerland and during peak season, 4G is practically unusable, even 720p cat videos barely load. Last year several 5G antennas were installed around the village and I now get speeds >300Mbit, allowing me to even comfortably work remotely from there. 5G has had a very positive impact on my life.
