What’s the point of 5G when I don’t even have LTE in many rural areas? I’d rather have LTE everywhere than a faster download rate when in a city but not at home.


Cell carriers try to optimize for places with the highest population densities, so they focus on faster speeds in cities over slower speeds everywhere. It's a fine balance.
