AT&T’s confusing 5G Plus expansion confirms T-Mobile was right all along

AT&T currently offers two “flavors” of 5G: 5G Plus over the high-band mmWave spectrum and regular 5G, which is comparable to 4G LTE.
Now, a blog post details that AT&T is bolstering 5G Plus with the mid-band C-band spectrum in 2022 — a concept that T-Mobile has been preaching for years.
This is because that high-band mmWave 5G offers the fastest speeds over shorter distances, making it best for highly concentrated areas.
Offering 5G service with no in-between isn’t ideal — a mid-band range serves as the median between both spectrums.
