How do I know if I have 5G mmWave?

Low-frequency bands are under 1GHz, while mid-bands range from 3.4GHz to 6GHz and are not considered “mmWave.” mmWave 5G networks are ultra-fast, but they’re also ultra-short range. To use mmWave technology, you need to be within about a block of a 5G tower , which isn’t feasible in suburban and rural areas.

What 5G band is the fastest?

The fastest 5G speeds would be in the mmWave bands and can reach 4 Gbit/s with carrier aggregation and MIMO. Sub-6 GHz 5G (mid-band 5G), by far the most common, will usually deliver between 100 and 4,400 MBit/s but will have a much further reach than mmWave, especially outdoors.
