I’ve been using 5G while waiting for fibre to be laid and use it for day-to-day internet connectivity
It’s 20-30x faster than my VDSL2 line and only £8/month more expensive
And apart from the day of the Queens funeral it’s been really reliable
On the day of the funeral throughput was like 28kbps, whereas 4G from the same tower was 100Mbps so I presume the teleco had an internal network issue with their 5G backhaul / network (probably sold all the capacity to broadcasters)
