Is 5G really good? (lemmy.world)

I've heard multiple issues with 5G, like range and stuff, effectively sacrificing range and reliability for even more speed just so that companies can market it better. Do you think 5G is a downgrade compared to 4G?

And will also mean better tracking of phone users, as we have a better resolution with more towers

Which isn't a good thing always at least...

Yeah, that's definitely a fair point. Though I am not sure how much better it would get since triangulation between three different towers or more has been used already to narrow down where a device is even with long distance towers.
