would need that kind of speed, today, in any reasonable
situation. Also, today's infrastructure can more than handle
that in most places. Where it can't, 5G isn't going to be there
for a very long time or some other method would fix it first
(such as improved backhaul or site densification with existing
technologies).</div>

In South Africa, I average between 30Mbps - 50Mbps on my phones (two
different carriers, each doing 4G and LTE).<br>
<br>
The only time I use that kind of bandwidth is when I'm in the
country, but neither at home nor the office, e.g., tethering my
laptop at at the car wash, the barber shop, in a hotel, at a coffee
shop, e.t.c. It is more reliable than trying to ask some
establishment for their wi-fi access.<br>
<br>
The only time I rely more heavily on wi-fi (even for my phone) is
when I am outside the country, because data roaming is colossally
expensive and painfully slow, since MNO's like tunneling stuff back
home for billing.<br>
<br>
Ultimately, what I'm saying is that - at least on my end - I
routinely can achieve way more than 25Mbps on my phone, but unless
I'm spending 5 minutes watching a Youtube clip, I'm certain I'm not
using more than 2Mbps - 5Mbps on average. Trying to catch up on
Netflix on my phone is not a plan, since MNO's are so tucked in with
their concept of "selling data".<br>
