Yeah but you don't get the gigabit numbers that way. That's all marketing wants.

Marketing wants coverage as well. In remote areas customers want service at all, once there is service they want faster. Depending on location marketing wants different things from 5g

I haven't seen 5G marketing with coverage in mind. Mostly it's a hidden * (only in those cities).

That is because marketing wants to sell faster. They want coverage, but they don't want to dilute their faster message with coverage.
