Although 5g is much faster that the previous technologies, it doesn't travel as far. Thus it needs more towers per square mile to cover a given area. Block walls will also slow it down. It depends where you are located.
You will never see FIOS in the already built areas of the Villages. They added FIOS in my neighborhood up north. They had to tunnel a cable under everyone's front lawn and driveway. It was quite the project. Don't think it would ever get approved here plus the economics are not there, large cost to implement with a limited potential for new customers. The only place where it could possible happen is in a new section where the utilities have not yet gone in.
