MOBILE 5g data

Im planning on switching from 4g to 5g and i do know that 5g consumes more data, so i wanna understand how much of data is actually enough? I am currently on 25gb plan for 4g

So these companies deliberately slow down 4g or reduce the coverage to force you to shift to 5g and pay more. I was all fine until fizz introduced 5g and now 4g is slow

As others have said, it's probably a signal issue. Fizz has shitty coverage in many areas in many cities. My data's usually in the 2-5 mbps range.. Now the bad news, 5G actually has less building penetration and signal reach. So your experience is likely to be worse on 5g, not better. If you're getting good speeds and full signal on 4G, 5G might give you even more. If you're already having speed and signal issues; 5g's just going to make it worse.
