15 mbps (small m, is doing me fine atm) I only long for better internet when a file is something ridiculous like 90gigs but anyrhing below 50ish is an easy overnight DL. I don't want the skin burned off me by them 5g signals and end up with ass cancer.

I really wish they would offer a slower package like 15mbps, but offset that with more data, like a 500GB cap, since unlimited seems like a no go period. 500GB data would be enough that it wouldn't be a worry about going over, for a while anyway. 100GB+ games for PS5 would be the next problem eventually with a data cap. At least 15mbps would be a 3X increase in speed, along with 25% more data. That I could live with for 3 maybe 4 years.

I wonder how much 5G would effect you on the ground from a tall tower? Unless you have clear line of sight to the tower from the ground, you're going to have to put the dish on the roof or antenna tower to get decent signal. That being the case, the signal must be pretty weak near the ground, once you're far enough away or blocked by foliage, and since the large majority of us aren't much higher than 6 feet off the ground, I can't see it being a major concern in general. Now when there's a hot spot every 100 ft along the street in the city so it's completely blanketed, well that might be another story.
