Using a 4G phone in 2025 is rougher than I thought

It might (slightly) shock some people to learn this, but even though I've been using smartphones since 2011, and my current phone is an iPhone 16 Pro, I never had access to 5G until just a few weeks ago. Until 2019, of course, 5G wasn't an option. But even once it arrived, I preferred to stick to budget carriers, many of which deliberately omit 5G as a way of saving costs and/or nudging you towards their parent companies' more expensive plans. A lot of pre-paid carriers exist simply to catch customers that would otherwise fall through the cracks.
