Explain what change in habits you will have because of faster downloads. How are you going to use your 15 gb so quickly? You can't consume content any faster and the content is still the same size....this whole notion that one will blow through their data allotment quickly because it downloads faster is baffling to me but then again, I'm not a phone addict. I use less than 2 gb per month and can't imagine why having 5g speeds would increase that.
(and why move to a faster speed? I don't think the choice is going to be mine to make at some point....)
We're talking mobile phones, not home internet connection. There is one and only one use case I can see where, for example, a 150MB LTE download speed --which I get --is not sufficient, and I'll discuss that below.
You don't need more than 150MB to use 4K in youtube. And that speed should be plenty sufficient for stream game services like Stadia. And what multi-gb software updates are you downloading to your phone, assuming your phone even lets you do this, that can't wait until you get home, so you don't blow past your allotment.
The one exception, and that applies to the ultra-high speed 1gig 5G service, is being able to download a movie to your phone for later viewing. But that use case requires you are in a very narrow zone of blanketed high speed coverage, which in the near future is not going to change in terms of widespread deployment.
OPS comments weren't far off-base. While I don't believe 100% of the continental US could ever have cell phone coverage, popular destinations and popular remote locations should have coverage without resorting to a satellite phone.
So you are saying 150Mbps already is too fast and we shouldn't move to 5G since there is no extra benefit?
