   Hopefully badgolferman realizes that T-Mobile's 5G coverage is a subset   
   of its 4G coverage, it's not like they have put in 5G only cells.   
      
   For most people _coverage_ is what matters most, not whether that   
   coverage is 5G averaging 71 Mb/s or 4G averaging 53.3 Mb/s. If that   
   difference in data speed is what matters to badgolferman, that's fine,   
   but he should have said "5G coverage which is what matters now _to me_."   
      
   Giving up significant geographic coverage in order to gain a small speed   
   increase is not something that a lot of people would be willing to accept.
