Not sure if you are being sarcastic, but assuming you aren't. No consumer is asking for 5g, and I don't think any consumer will realise the difference. And not sure that 5g can do much good on a train, unless the train circles around inside a big city and never goes in the countryside where what matters is antenna with long range.

5g also doesn't beat my wifi. My wife and I slashed our data plans during COVID.

but your wifi is unreliable and slow. Instead of buying a good AP, buy this 5G modem for only $5 and get your nice, capped 20MBit/s for $200 a month. Isn't this just what you need, when every site is slowly just getting a fibre-connection theoretically allowing a community hosted mobile mesh-network in any city which deserves the name.

5g is just another white rabbit big Multinational are chasing to justify/force infrastructure replacement.

Or to get 4k video streaming on my tiny smartphone screen, because I'm worth it!
