Here in the UK, you can get very fast 5G for significantly cheaper than a wired connection. I’m on the Vodafone network and get 300+ Mbps for £30/month. My mate just got a SIM on the Three network which gets up to 800(!) Mbps for £20(!)/month - although his has a 12 month contact.
Plus, many 5G routers are tiny and have batteries in them. I can pop mine in my backpack and have super-fast internet wherever I need it.
Fixed wire connections typically come with long contacts, they don’t move with you, they cost more and they’re less reliable. They do have lower latency however!
