    Health concerns aside, please do not confuse 5G Fixed Wireless with 5G Mobile Wireless. 5G Fixed Wireless does not provide an advantage in service to the consumer over existing alternatives. Consumer based Fiber has higher bandwidth than 5G and has been proven for many years. Installation of 5G fixed wireless is a easier experience for the consumer than Fiber. The main advantage of 5G is to the service providers. Service providers will no longer have to employ and pay technicians to drop lines to the house, install and setup services to consumers. These jobs will be lost or replaced with lower skilled and lower cost employees.
