This is probably true reason I know is because I myself pushed Verizon recently on the issue of selling me a 5g phone that always says 4G or LTE (which they admit isnt 5g either)
They had to admit that there are only a very few REALLY large cities in the whole country that have some sections that ACTUALLY have 5g.
On spectrum when your wifi comes up as a 5g also they say not either.

Feeling fookd again yet????
