Only the US really uses mmWave.
~3.4GHz-4GHz (which is the 'primary' 5G band) in Europe can provide excellent speeds (2gbit/sec real world no problem to a phone) but without the terrible signal degrigation you get on mmWave.
mmWave will be used more in the future once the other bands get saturated, but it's a bit ahead of its time now.
