No telco here in the UK is planning on rolling out 5G for a few years yet, which I completely agree with. I don't see the point in putting time and effort into 5G until 4G is consistently available, which it still isn't, on any of our four physical networks (EE, O2, Three, Vodafone).
Fibre roll-out is making real progress, but we're not really there yet. I don't live out in the sticks so I get it easy; my home broadband is fine.
Also, what will 5G really mean, anyway? I can already stream video to my phone. What good will more mobile bandwidth do me?
