True 5G, mainstream data will take a big step forward for the regular person, across the board that will have a big impact on everyone, I think that will be the big one

After that it might be a rough year

A big impact on everyone? I have no great use for more bandwidth on a tiny screen. Getting rid of more dead zones would be useful, but more bandwidth is not necessary. Maybe city people need it because of congestion, but it's way faster than any use I have by several times already. I mostly just need it to occasionally load up tiny webpages and the rest of the time I'm either driving or home so it has no great use.

It's not like the bandwidth of general internet use is really going up that much. It did for awhile as web page modernized, but modern compression has kind of stopped the need for endless bandwidth increases being anywhere near as important as a decade ago or so.

well in your specific case it might not affect your daily life noticeably but when everyone in general has better bandwidth, actual 5G reception and not just 4G similar speed but true GBP/s speeds many professions no longer will need to be restricted along with everyone having access to better transfer speeds hardwired due to cost drop and accessibility, the noticeable difference won't be immediate but it will be identifiable, believe me when transferring or sending large chucks of data like a Terabyte = 1000 Gigabytes that's a lot, it will be like when we all had to wait 1/2 an hour just for a music cd to download but it will be instant imagine scientists transferring information with no wait time

if we go into a recession due to the inflation that is going on now the whole year will be stagnant for general population as this winter is already going to be difficult for most due to energy and food costs going up with little sign of getting better until maybe spring but that might be too late and the damage will be done... computation and science will not be affected though
