This. 
It's odd, it seemed to make no sense to use 5G when 4G has a much greater range, reliability, and requires a fraction of the number of towers. 
Really got the conspiracy folks worked up with all that. [/quote]

You’re thinking of millimeter wave spectrum, which is different than 5G. MMW spectrum was used for initial 5G deployments. Because it’s a higher frequency range than spectrum used for 4G, it has a shorter range, but does have faster speed and higher bandwidth (can carry more data). It’s not less reliable, that just depends on how well the coverage is done when it’s deployed. Although it’s also far more sensitive to obstructions, like even trees can stop the signal. So yeah, MMW didn’t make a lot of sense and required tons of small antennas all over the place, like on lampposts or utility poles.

Anyway, 5G is now on a range of frequencies, including ones that were used for 3G and 4G, which has improved coverage. [/quote]
