5G has little to offer that 4G doesn't already accomplish. 5G is pretty much useless beyond highly urbanized areas. The fastest 5G speeds can only work outdoors with a range of a couple hundred feet anyway.

If you live in a rural area, 5G has almost nothing to offer. Maybe you might be able to get a 5G signal if you live next to a busy interstate highway.

The scary part of 5G is that they are pushing its use on IOT "Internet Of Things". They want to be able to control every aspect of your life: when to turn the lights on and off, when and what temperature to set your thermostat at, how much power you use. If you have an electric car they will meter its use.

Above all they will know everything about you, and tax every activity you do. Don't forget microphones and surveillance cameras. Don't feel left behind if you don't have 5G. This is truly a case where "keeping up with the Jones" is not worth it.

They are basically bugging every house so they can hear private conversations, we are truly living in the movie “The Lives of Others”

Don't ignore its biggest feature. It gives phone sellers and cellular companies a buzzword so they can convince everyone that they need to upgrade.

I asked Siri about what you said and she said it wasn't true. Siri wouldn't lie to me, especially about privacy issues.

Obviously you are ignorant of 5G implementation!

T-Mobile and Sprint are reusing their current 4G bands, so all rural people with current signals will benefit from extra speed and more concurrency on those same bands.
