If you live in a major city close to the target datacenter, maybe. I have an excellent last mile (500 Mbps symmetrical FTTH) and pings to sites like google.com still go above 300 ms. 5G wouldn't help me at all, probably the opposite. The vast majority of that time is spent in data bouncing around the world through very inefficient routes.
