The answer to this question really depends on your budget, location, and whether you’re using connectivity for personal or business needs, even though the speed of 5G may make you wonder why we’re even comparing the two. Coverage remains rather limited and there is far more work that needs to be done before networks from the likes of EE, Three and Vodafone start delivering upon the upper echelons of what 5G has promised. However, the 5G rollout is still in its early stages. In a nutshell, because 5G uses a different spectrum than 4G LTE, it can deliver stronger and faster connections, higher capacity for traffic, as well as latency as low as 1ms. However, these lower speeds will still outclass anything that 4G LTE offers, and deploying ‘sub-6’ connectivity might even expand 5G coverage, given the fact walls and surfaces often serve as blockers to mmWave frequencies. Although 5G can also use frequency bands lower than 6Ghz but above low-band frequencies, these certainly don’t support the highest possible speeds.
