MM wave is supremely fast but you have to be very close to a tower and even then it's insanely spotty... again, what is the consumer use case here? Like you mentioned, the only realistic one is in an arena that hasmassive load usage from a lot of people... even in that scenario I have seen it work SO far very poorly and spotty. Case in point, a few airports I have been at, downtown centers and bballa arenas.
It works poorly in arenas etc. because of inadequate backhaul 90% of the time. My overall point was blaming “5G” for anything is nonsensical because 99% of the time it’s 5G Sub 6 which is basically 4G as you correctly pointed out.
