Is 5G internet Limited?

Is 5G home internet really all it’s cracked up to be? Ugh, honestly? It’s been such a letdown for me. I mean, the choices are ridiculously limited, right? You’re practically forced into one of two plans, tops. And forget about that blazing-fast, rock-solid speed they promise you with fiber. That’s just not the reality, you know?

I remember when I switched – I was SO excited. All the ads showed people downloading movies in seconds, seamless video calls…the whole shebang. Then, reality hit. Streaming is a total gamble. Sometimes it’s fine, but other times, it buffers so much, I swear I could knit a whole sweater while waiting for a single episode of The Great British Baking Show to load. Seriously, The Great British Baking Show! That’s just wrong.

And the speeds? They fluctuate wildly. One minute I’m downloading files at a decent pace, the next it’s like my internet is having a mid-life crisis and has completely forgotten how to work. I even tried calling tech support – what a nightmare. They kept suggesting things I’d already tried, like restarting my router (a million times, honestly!), and checking my cables (which are brand spanking new!). It’s just… frustrating. It’s nowhere near as reliable as the fiber optic connection I had before.

So, yeah. 5G home internet? Not the game-changer I’d hoped for, sadly. Maybe I got unlucky, or maybe the hype just got to me. Either way, I’m definitely thinking about switching back. Anyone else have a similar experience? I’d love to hear it! Maybe I’m just expecting too much… or maybe 5G just isn’t ready for prime time yet.
