[QUOTE="Glock 40, post: 3353490, member: 32"] So a couple things I can tell you. 5g aint gonna be cheap for a while. All the new phones that do 5g are Premium devices and are over 1grand. The 5g hotspots I have seen are all over $500. Also if your out of town 5g isn't the same as in town. Yes some providers have low band 5g but it wont be much faster if any that 4g because Low band frequencies don't have the same bandwidth as the higher bands. Be careful don't go spending a bunch of money if your out of town to find out you got a 5g icon but not any discernible speed differences. Here are couple articles about it.
