In this comparison, Michael Timmermann evaluates whether the technical superiority of fiber internet is necessary for the average household. Based on three years of testing 5G home internet as his primary connection, Michael explains that while fiber offers symmetrical upload and download speeds ideal for gaming and large file transfers, 5G service has proven reliable for 4K streaming and remote work. He notes that 5G typically costs about $50 per month and includes price guarantees, but he cautions that certain services like Hulu+Live TV may have compatibility issues with the dynamic IP addresses used by 5G providers. Ultimately, he suggests that fiber remains the top choice for high-performance needs, while 5G provides a simplified and cost-effective alternative for most everyday users.
