If user tests are to be believed, the initial rollout of AT&T's 5G home internet network may be disappointing to most. Download and upload speeds aren't much better than those on 4G LTE.

I'd like to see how it compares with Verizon's 5G implementation in places like Sacramento.  If the results are similar, there could be some legs to this story.  If Verizon's a lot better, well, we know where to place the blame ...

Yep, it could be that false 5G they announce.
