What's special about 5GHz? What about 700MHz-2100MHz?

Even with its high latency, packet loss, data caps, etc, LTE internet fits the need of a huge segment of casual internet users and has been doing so for some time now.

Not sure if you're joking, but just in case...

5G in this context means 5th Generation, not 5 GHz.

Oh, whoops. I wasn't joking. I never realized that there's actually a definition of 3G/4G/5G that isn't just made up marketing lingo. Thanks for the link.
