Here is the simple explanation - if a company can’t charge extra for new technology, they won’t make new technology. If AT&T or Verizon can’t charge extra for 4G, which is an enhanced option, why pay the billions to expand current towers and equipment? This is affirmative action and reparations type thinking rolled into one..... let everyone have the same service, even if they can’t afford it. Idiotic thinking.

Did you even read what I wrote? That is not what the issue is. The issue is your ISP with it’s 4G, 5G, whateverG, blocking or severely degrading the content YOU want to access on their whateverG service. Netflix is late on their payment to AT&T, AT&T cuts off the service for their AT&T customers. Some small business wants customers to access their site in a shade under an hour? Pay up to the big telco’s small business.

Filtering content is what is at stake here, NOT providing the existing server at higher speeds for less money.
