    Oh wow, I have 5G on my phone and it served its purpose when the cables were being repaired (which took a few months), but I’m not pulling 1000/1000 mbit with latencies of under 6 ms from the air, and it only costs like 35 eur / month

      I can get 500mbps for $50 or 1gbps for $65.

      My cell phone bill is only $25, and I don’t need to download large files often or under time-constraints.

      Having an extra $600 in my bank account every year is pretty noticeable, though.
