So my most beneficial use case has been inside of densely populated areas like a football stadium. Before 5g, my phone was basically without internet the entire time I was in the stadium. Now it works almost as if I’m at home on my home wifi network.

Good point, I hadn't considered that since I don't visit highly congested places like that often.

This is incredibly false. 5G isn’t a single band, nor does it have anything to do with 5Ghz WiFi home networking. 5G operates at everything from 700Mhz to 3.8Ghz and has incredibly vast range. 5G is an evolution of LTE and uses the same exact network frequencies with no changes in coverage.

The 5G that runs on the lower Mhz bands isn't as fast as it's headline speed.

700Mhz that you mentioned, even on 5G is UP TO 300MBPs in ideal conditions.

You cannot defect physics.

It wont. 5g doesnt suffer as badly with congestion as 4g
