Is 5G Worth it?
- 09-07-2025
LEWISD700 Apparently 5G is very much faster, so that would make the answer "yes" if download speed is important to you..
If you have a 5G signal where you are then you are not paying extra for it and so the answer again is "yes".
I understand that it uses more battery power than 4G and so that would make it "no" if you have an elderly phone or a dodgy battery.
Without long term comparison though, it is hard to give a definite answer.

Short answer is yes. I receive broadband speeds where I live (& it’s faster than out current BB supplier) & as the add-on is free it’s a no-brainer to use it if the phone is capable.
