I have no idea where your 100 USD+ per month comes from, my 5G plan is 10 USD per month - considerably cheaper than my 50 USD per month fiber connection, even though they're both gigabit. And the fiber rollout cost more. > Hypothetically speaking just a small fraction of that money can be used to put fiber internet all over the place with tons of 6GHz access points and let everyone have free internet. That's what 5G is: fiber running to a bunch of APs running a suitable technology for covering an entire area with a lot of devices in high-speed internet. WiFi is not that technology (it doesn't target that kind of device density or coexistence, and only really works well with very low device counts in RF quiet buildings), nor would anything about that be cheaper - sounds like the issue you voice is mainly greedy ISPs, while using WiFi deployments would not give them any reason to be any less greedy. A free internet service is a choice that can be done with both WiFi and 5G. (Yes it would be nice if they didn't both trample on upper 6GHz, but improving cellular, but I'm not sure if WiFi is the greater value prop for those channels.)
