Faster speeds might not seem necessary, however you have to remember you are sharing the bandwidth. The quicker you can get your data the less time you spend using bandwidth.

If I can halve the download time that allows another user to use the bandwidth sooner.



Indeed, the article mentions that the 'killer app' of 5G has yet to be found


The killer app of 4G hasn't been found, considering 4G can stream 10x 4K videos simultaneously in my area, at low latency.


Am I charged less for that data transfer when it’s 5G? To me the important consideration is the cost of the data. 1Gbps seems pointless if the cost is still $10+/GB.
