If that is the case then 5G is suddenly much more attractive (especially for road warriors). On Reddit in r/TMobile, I most often see ~140mbps speed tests, with the occasional ~300mbps. No clue though if this is inside or outside. Honestly for me, on my MOBILE, I want lower latency, but have no need for over 100mbps. However, when I want to tether my laptop, then I'd LOVE gigabit+ speeds.
