* 5G is a shared spectrum. Bandwidth is shared between all users of a cell.
* 5G signal quality will attenuate depending on distance, air quality and even the weather and thus will also affect speed.
* Switch/Xbox/Playstation doesn't have 5G support. - It needs a 3rd party (another) device to piggy-back from.
Although 5G uses a different wavelength to prior technologies, it's range for each Cell is also shorter, so there should be less users per cell.
However, being a shared medium, it's likely to garner data caps still. - 4G here in Australia, despite being one of the fastest and most expansive networks in the world still has data limits which can be entirely used within minutes, such limitations don't exist for fixed line.
Is 5G the future? Sure. But due to the smaller cell size which reduces the amount of users per cell meaning less bandwidth competition between users, it's going to take allot longer to rollout as you need more cells to cover any given geographical area.
