I get what you're saying. Just saying that those kind of connections (whilst on the top end) have been achievable on 4G LTE for quite a few years. And 5G speeds you expect to see 300-1000 and even higher than that if you're next to a node. 

His speeds show the issue with 5G that unless Nodes are around up the ass in your area you're just not gonna get the speeds that go with the very enhanced cost of 5G connections and hardware. 

Apparently, 5G freqs vary widely by carrier. Higher frequencies can pack a lot of bandwidth, but very little matter penetration, afaik.

It's probably only good in big cities where you're close to the tower. It's like AD 60Ghz wifi. An empty cardboard box can block the signal. It's insane.
