It's interesting that the hypeness of 5G varies greatly depending on the country.
In the US, where carriers have a say in what phones people use on their networks, the 5G hype seems to have been through the roof.
In UAE where I visit sometimes, both carriers did buy some billboards to advertise their 5G service, and that's it. I have no idea what it's like because I don't have a compatible phone.
In Russia though, where I live most of the time, 5G has never launched and none of the four carriers have any plans to launch it (especially now with all those sanctions). Everyone seems fine with LTE.

I say that as someone who was relatively late to get an LTE-capable phone. It's also a common understanding that cell towers have limited capacity and if there are many people in one place, your data connection might not work.
