5 mbps is dial up by todays standards. Might as well as leave out data entirely.
You can stream video at 3 mbps. What more do you need?

Sure I have gigabit fiber to my home, but I don't need to download 4K movies to my barely full HD iPhone while I am wandering around town away from wifi. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't mind unlimited data with restricted bandwidth if it came with a reduced monthly bill. 5 Mbps is plenty for how I use my phone.

No I think dial-up is still dial-up by today's standards. 5 mbps is not too bad, especially compared to dial-up.

These lower end brands not to mention lower speed normally have a reduced priority on the wireless tower. I used one of AT&T's lower brands before and in areas where there wasn't congestion it was perfect, but go into the city etc. and you'd get no signal before the full on AT&T customers did.

So keep in mind if you plan on using it in congested areas for Verizon.
