I hate 5G because it's a stupid tech, requiring so much transmitter hardware to maintain a good signal at all.
The 4G LTE spectrum is still apparently the only stable long distance cell system. And the "3G Shutdown" meant disabling the traditional system for phone calls, leaving only VoLTE, which my old phone is capable of, but because it's not the proprietary VoLTE the carrier wants me to use, I had no choice but to waste money on a new phone I didn't want!
