I will bet when you go camping in that same area and your phone says 5G your 
speed is not going to be much different.

Our  Motorolas 5e plus  support 600- 2300MHz...few months ago, wife and I went 
camping to Bear Trap Canyon near VLA.  We had  4G with almost full bars in 
600MHz and 35Mbps D and 23Mbp up...through trees and canyons.. 
I have a cell tower locator app I use to check for coverage when we go 
hiking...let my children know where we are at with GPS coordinates as well.
T-Mobile ...I am happy

  Isn’t the only improvement in 5G larger channel widths?

    In the news:










      AT&T-owned Cricket Wireless is enabling 5G support on some of its 

      plans, . . .  the company’s only 5G compatible device so far is the 

      $1,199 Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus. And getting access to 5G on Cricket 
requires 

      subscribing to one of its Unlimited plans, which start at $60 per month.







      Cricket will likely use AT&T’s low-band 5G network (the announcement 

      didn’t specify much in the way of technical details), which uses low-band 

      850MHz spectrum technology that has broader range but slower speeds than 
its 

      mmWave 5G, which AT&T calls its 5G Plus network. 







      The latter is currently limited to developers and select businesses. 

      T-Mobile also offers its low-band 5G, which it launched in December, to 
its 

      Metro prepaid customers.







    So, they are finally admitting (it appears) that 5G for mobile devices is 

    marketing hype as we all have known.  Just one number higher than 4G.  

    If it uses low band then it is not anything new in my opinion.  mm wave for 

    a mobile device is nothing more than a lab creature.  And I believe it will 

    remain that way.
