5g refers to the 5th generation of wireless technology. The industry standard for 5g uses a different higher frequency which means more information per second can be sent but at the cost of lower range. Different providers can still offer different packages that include faster or slower throttled speeds and their networks might have more or less coverage based on how many towers in your area. Some companies contract to share towers with other networks so they might be more reliable but also more expensive.
