Launching my Bushnell Golf app took until we were on 2 tee until the course maps were downloaded. Previously, using 4G, that process took less than 10 seconds. For that reason alone, I would be reluctant to have my home internet based on 5G cell service.
Did you know that if you have Xfinity for your home internet you can get cell phone service from them at a fraction of the cost of Verizon using the same cell towers? Two years now for us with Xfinity and the cost for two phones total is $33 a month. There are monthly data limits but we haven’t reached one yet
