Yeah, I don't get this either. I live in Canada and mobile data is $$$s. I don't see the point in more-better-data when we can barely afford to utilize the current infrastructure. Providers are likely to recover this new infrastructure cost through price hikes.
I don't give a crap about faster mobile data, I've got a 5GB plan and faster data just means I could chew through it faster. All of the data heavy applications I can think of I use almost exclusively on wifi where it's available.
I think the real sell for 5G is it's capacity to carry thousands of concurrent connections, allowing for everything to be connected. A true IOT solution where anything you can think of can connect without congesting towers.
