5G is a marketing ploy/hoax, just like LAA.
5G can be 1Gbit+ or 1Mbit at your home. In my rural United States area, LAA, carrier aggregation, millimeter wave, etc do not exist. Speed boosts that come to rural areas in the future will be 600MHz-700MHz based. They are simply not going to build out cell towers for GHz solutions in rural areas. GHz signals do not travel far enough to reach rural homes.
I live in the rural area and I use a MR1100 with ATT. The ATT site is quite far and even with the 700MHz the throughput is low. TMobile just opened a 5G site 2 miles away but in band 71. Netgear, the 600MHz is a must if you want to penetrate the rural market.
