I have the free 5G phones from T-Mobile where, to me, the fact that they're
all 5G simply means that I can use "all the tower" they can give me.

Other than the teeny tiny "5G" symbol in the status bar, without running a
utility, I can't tell when I'm on 5G or when I'm on LTE (or even when I'm on
Wi-Fi for that matter) other than I've experienced high 5G speeds as has
badgolferman (where 5G speeds for badgolferman are twice the speeds I get).

There's something to be said for 200Mbps to 600Mbps speeds when you need it.
