I’ve heard multiple issues with 5G, like range and stuff, effectively sacrificing range and reliability for even more speed just so that companies can market it better. Do you think 5G is a downgrade compared to 4G?

IME rain and humidity has little to no effect. I can get 900mbps in clear skies or in a torrential downpour as long as I’m not behind multiple walls. The single wall I have to contend with at work (not counting cube walls) barely affects reception. If I’m standing under the tower I can get 1gbps.
That’s probably not going through mmWave signal but the sub-mmWave spectrum we’ve previously used for 4G. I’ve hit >400Mbps on good ol’ LTE back in 2018 on AWS.
According to this, 5G should be able to do 1Tb on sub-mmWave.
