T-mobile is offering it in my area. Thoughts on using 5G for home internet anyone?

Edit - I currently have DSL

Everything I've read said that 5G internet isn't affected by weather. My phone data certainly doesn't drop when it rains.

Pretty much this
If ita priced better. might as well do it.
I feel like broadband internet will slowly disappear over the 5g era, or once we get into the 6g era

Man I hope not, if we ever lose the option to wire in directly that's bad

In case that doesn't answer the question, I think wifi is generally fine for most things but personally I would never go for something that doesn't give me a direct line

Its cheaper to put up a tower then drop lines to new neighbors, or ever upgrade lines.
Im sure existing broadband will not entirely disappear, but they may slowly stop expanding networks in favor of wireless networks.

But lag is the enemy of wifi. Why won't they ever think about the gamers

If it is locked in contract cheaper than wired, then why not; if its an introductory offer with asterisks, maybe wait and see if they lay some fibre before making the switch to better internet.

I am assuming it's currently DSL over copper, (or worse) as that's the statistical probability.

Seeing how long it takes for things to get to rural areas, it will probably be 2085 before we get it here at best.

rural areas
I just got it put in my swamp! (only took lobbying the government the past ten years) The company took the grant money from the government and instead of dumping it into executive bonuses and stock buy backs, they actually put a fibre line in.

I went from a best of maybe 5.4mbps over microwave link to 54mpbs fibre, pleased as punch. It's not the 3.6tbps that the Japanese team got the other day, but it's honest internet.

At some point I am going to have to fire up mario kart or smash, just have not got there yet. Might also add my friend code for my switch to my signature, when I bother to finally look it up.

If it were available to me, maybe. Speed looks really good. It'd just depend on if they offer an unlimited data plan or not.
