📶 Should I pay extra for 5G when my signal keeps dropping?

My phone supports 5G already. The network keeps messaging me about a 5G plan that costs more each month. So it's not about buying hardware. It's only whether the extra money is worth it right now. I checked the coverage map for Kondapur. It shows 5G on the main road and patchy everywhere else. It looked fine on the map. In my house, it's another story. Last week I tried my friend's 5G connection. Outside near the flyover, it was fast, no doubt. I walked into his building and the signal dropped to 4G in 10 seconds. Inside the lift, nothing. At my place it drops to 4G in the bedroom and kitchen. So I'd pay extra for a signal I see outside. That's about 15 minutes a day on the road, mostly while sitting in traffic. I use my phone for messaging, social media, some streaming and video calls. 4G handles all of it. I did a video call with my sister last Sunday and nobody asked me to repeat anything. Maybe if I downloaded big files or played online games, I'd feel it. I don't do either much. So I'm leaning towards waiting a few months and keeping my old plan. But I keep thinking someone will say I'm wrong. Has anyone here switched and felt a big difference? Also, does it depend on the network? A colleague says his 5G is solid in Gachibowli but poor in Kukatpally. If one company is clearly better in Hyderabad, I'd like to know before I decide. Anyone living in an apartment, did 5G work properly inside your flat for you?

I moved to a 5G plan in March and went back to 4G in July. Coverage in my area was the problem. It worked on the road and died inside my building, so I paid extra to see 4G anyway. Ask a friend on the same network to walk through your home first. That test cost me nothing. Also check if your plan lets you switch back easily, before you commit to anything.

Stay on 4G for now. I took the 5G plan 6 months ago and barely use what I pay for.
