I've seen an interesting corollary: 4G on an airplane at the gate is much faster than the 5G microcells inside the terminal.

If I'm downloading podcasts for a flight, I do it on WiFi beforehand or on 4G on the plane. 5G in the terminal is really useful at getting you some service, but it's slow.

Probably a side effect of not enough backhaul speed.
