While that's the selling point of 5G; it's difficult for the general consumer to rationalize paying more for something of only marginal benefit to them. While many of us reading HN understand how this can help computing and moving heavy amounts of data, to your grandma with a smart phone, how's it going to improve her life? She can still google a recipe for cake in a few seconds, what's 1 second faster to her?
The potential benefit though I see is that you potentially no longer have to pay an ISP like Comcast. You would only pay one bill for 5g for both your computer/phone. Aside from that, its a difficult marketing sell.
