But 5G is getting a strong foothold in many American cities, and speeds range from slightly faster than 4G LTE to exponentially faster by a wide margin. You can get faster speeds on 5G because 5G networks use higher-frequency radio bands to deliver signals.
Read moreWhy is my 5G signal worse than 4G?
The 5G standard uses millimeter waves, which are a lot shorter than the wavelengths 4G uses . The shorter wavelength means 5G can carry a lot of data much faster than 4G, but it also means a much shorter range.
