Is there any reason to be concerned?

Nope

Or should I be excited for faster 5G speeds?

You should

My first thought was “oh boy! Now I can exceed my data cap in seconds instead of minutes!”.

I still find it surprising of how much data caps are a thing on the US. (Mobile or otherwise)

Here in Chile 🇨🇱 we’ve basically extinguished data caps on almost every data plan about 5 years ago.

In terms of upcharges and fees, anything is possible with telecom billing. It’s so bad that many telecoms have full-time staff to audit the bills from other telecoms.

I play online games with a friend who has a 5g tower across the road.

His neighbor occasionally gets drunk and shoots it to “death”.

US, obviously. South Carolina.

Your asshole is going to tingle all day every day that you’re home near that cell tower.

You might get excited or you might hate your taint.
