This is 5g, sitting inside a house with aluminum siding in the very spot where I never saw above 5mbit with 4g. Far from hype.

Not really, my old Motorola from 2017 could have beat that speed tests with its 600Mb capable modem, if the telephone carriers wanted to grant that much bandwidth.

It's all about their shitty implementation. What you think is a "5G speed" was already possible long ago but they didn't let us have it.
