Where this difference is most noticeable is with streaming - watching movies, sports where you will likely get buffering or be downshifted to a lower resolution image. Thats fine if you're watching on a cellphone but streaming 4K content to a big screen is unlikely to work well over 5G especially if you're in an urban location with a hundred others trying to do the same on the single cell site you're all connected to.
