If you are looking at speed as the only benefit to 5G, you are missing out
on many of the other benefits.

And as far as WiFi goes, let me know when we have seamless national WiFi
roaming and handoffs, because only at that point will it beat 5G.

Also, keep in mind that 10 years ago, you didn't know you would want
or need 25mbits to your phone, but I'd bet that now you'd have a hard
time living without it.

Which you can certainly achieve over wi-fi without hassle. I posit that
in many locations where abundant bandwidth to your phone is required, a
vast majority of suitable wi-fi options exist, and you (and others) use
one or more of them.

Wi-fi will beat 5G, over the long term.
