I'll not be rushing out to upgrade until I am forced to, kicking and screaming. I don't live the instaeverythingnet life that some people consume constantly, so will not waste any time reading about it. Just not interested.
There doesn't appear to be a premium for 5G in the UK (at least for some providers). I just got a 3 SIM for £10 a month that includes unlimited minutes / texts and 12GB of data (including 5G). I also got £57 cashback from Quidco, so it works out at about £5 a month!!!

However, the nearest 5G coverage is about 3 miles from where I live I went for a walk last week to try it out - it was the first time I've seen the 5G icon on Android. Sad I know...
