Network congestion in cities which is kinda what 5G is built for. 4G is still useful for servicing wider areas with less devices
That’s basically why 5G is 3 different things glue together.
There’s low frequency (long range) that’s basically just LTE with some icing.
There’s medium range and quite a bit faster (I can get 1Gbps down in some areas)
And the. There’s mmWave or super short range 5G. That’s designed for concerts and other events with a ton of people crammed into a small area. But even that struggles at time.
