Personally, I can't even get 5G in my home, even though I am paying for the service to my phone. It works in other places in the Villages, just not in my home. I get 4G in my home, but my phone uses wifi calling in my home, so it doesn't matter. That said, a friend in Mallory had his (and her) internet go down. Since they use streaming for TV, that meant no entertainment. He has a strong 5G connection to his phone so I set up his Iphone as an internet hotspot and streamed TWO(2) TVs flawlessly via 5G. He reported that he had zero glitches while his internet was down for a couple of days (weekend, I think). If you get 5G, it's great. The only time I have connected with 5G at home was in the garage, of all places. As a matter of fact, my phone has a tendency to disconnect during a call, but I believe it may be a glitch when the phone switches between wifi calling and cell service calling.
