I’m in a region that has it. But my iPhone is still saying LTE.

Does anyone use Bell and have 5G? How do you get it to work?
 
I wouldn't hold your breath. Im in full ATT 5G covered city and its slower than LTE at the moment.

With the hype of verizon even. My coworkers are seeing same exact speeds as lte. Unless they are in city block radius of the only Uwideband spot.

I don’t have bell, but Verizon, and I get the same LTE only though I have 5G nation wide. I even stood within a few feet of the Verizon tower that indicated it was 5G and I still didn’t get the 5G icon.
 
However, I did a speed test outside near a Verizon tower. What you see on top is LTE only, one in the middle is 5G only and the bottom numbers shows 5G auto. Notice a difference? So I believe I’m getting some 5G in my area without it showing the 5G icon in the upper right hand corner of my phone. Just my guess
