In my G7 EU country, I regularly go out of not just 4G, but 3G coverage. E for Edge is quite common to see, which with current apps and sites effectively means no data. OK, I'm relatively rural, but doesn't require me going far out into the wilds, or even out of town.
It wasn't much better when I was last in a major city. Regular, though admittedly brief, dropouts of coverage.
No doubt in both cases the mobile company's map says great coverage. I'd settle for pervasive 3G or 4G long before caring about 5.

I was just in Mansfield Ohio and my freind's T-mobile phone was more or less useless and had to be tethered to mine the whole trip, mine (which uses one of the two larger carriers with better rural coverage, mostly because of where I grew up) worked enough that we could occasionally get text messages out, we often had to find a cafe if we needed a new route or map tiles though.
