I tried it through AT&T and it was horrible.

They oversold my area and the traffic was lower priority than phones so most of the time it was busy and latency would be seconds. My kids were furious.

I wouldn’t want anything on the same spectrum as a more popular device but with lower qos.

Just illustrates the terrible state of broadband deployment in the US. 5G is a suitable backup, but proper fiber deployment is superior in all cases.

Yes, between my T-Mobile 5G backup internet that's reasonable at $25 and my powerwalls I have pretty decent high availability at home especially considering how often the power goes out.

I still don't know anybody who gets good 5g service anywhere. It seems like total shit. I know multiple people who have tried 5g home broadband and its slow and intermittent garbage and they sent their equipment back.
