I remember people saying it would be faster than most wired connections.

Not sure who those “people” were that were saying things but faster than most wired connections is a kind of vague statement. But 5g can be plenty fast, just ran a speed test on my cell phone with AT&T and I got 744 Mbps. That’s almost twice as fast as I get with my home ISP which gives me 400 Mbps theoretical speed and typically more like 350-380.
