Ask HN: Is it just me or is 5G strictly worse than...
Also, providers by and large still haven’t delivered on the original promises of 4G.

I’m old enough to remember the self-driving cars and service robots that UMTS (=3g) was supposed to deliver

Most new cars these days do download maps, traffic, OTA updates etc using 3G, so yes, this did happen

In some places they did deliver on it. I understand that cellular data is pretty shitty in the US, but in many places in EU you’re getting 100mbps with unlimited data for like 20€ a month. I could even get 200mbps if I pay extra.

In Canada we call that $1.50/s down, $0.75/s up.
