@tk In no small part, it’s because the 5G infrastructure hasn’t been deployed as widely as 4G. A similar sort of thing happened 10+ years ago where 4G was much more spotty than 3G for years. 5G compounds on this by the typical connection being marginally more performant compared to typical 4G (much of the advertisement around 5G was a variant that was never widely deployed, and I believe is already being decomed). I suspect carriers just wanted an excuse to raise prices.
