   Commentary: Remote surgery or driverless cars isn't 5G's "killer app."   
   Right now, the most compelling 5G benefit is that it's finally giving   
   cable companies a fight.

   Over the last five years there has been, and to an extent continues to   
   be, plenty of hype about what 5G will do. Driverless cars, remote   
   surgery, the metaverse -- all buzzwords that have yet to materialize   
   in any real way.   
      
   One area where it has noticeably helped change our lives? It finally   
   provides some long-overdue competition to cable companies for home   
   broadband. I've been exploring whether 5G and technologies like it   
   (known as "fixed wireless") could replace traditional home broadband   
   over the past year, testing out midband solutions from Verizon and   
   T-Mobile, as well as millimeter-wave options like Honest Networks.
