The price per GB in the US is truly awful. I'm also not interested at all in higher speeds with a data plan that costs $1 per GB downloaded. Fuck that. Even in the third world it's not hard to find internet plans that cost a fifth of the ones t-mobile, att, etc offer you.
High speeds aren't just for you to destroy your data plan in 10 seconds.
It's for when everyone at the same time trying to download something so they can provide a good experience in the worst case scenarios.
Every generation boosts capacity. Speed increase is just a side effect which is easy to market. 5G didn't bring enough capacity as its roll out was too late. 6G is too late now as well. We need something like 10G and we need it yesterday.
