They've already hit over 1 Gbps data transfer rates

Samsung has announced that it has successfully developed the world’s first adaptive array transceiver technology operating in the millimeter-wave Ka bands for cellular communications. Or, to put it another way, they've come up with the core tech that will allow delivery of 5G mobile communications, which is several hundred times faster than 4G.

Samsung claims 5G will be capable of providing a 'ubiquitous Gbps experience' to subscribers anywhere and offers data transmission speeds of up to several tens of Gbps per base station.

Samsung say their new adaptive array transceiver technology has proved itself successful in transmiting data in the millimeter-wave band at a frequency of 28 GHz at a speed of up to 1.056 Gbps to a distance of up to 2 kilometers.

Samsung now plans to press on with R&D of 5G mobile communications technologies, to commercialize them by 2020.

Samsung’s new technology will allow users to transmit massive data files including use for delivering high quality, streamed video games and real-time streaming of ultra high-definition (4k) content.

Thats all yay and everything but at this rate we wont see it until 2030+

3G is still massively inconsistent across the country with MANY metro and rural areas receiving no cellular data.
The bit of 4G we have is costly as the plans give very little allowance which the faster connection and higher quality data streams use very fast.

The majority of networks put awfully small data caps on their plans and seriously crank prices when more is needed, this will only get higher with the extra needed for 4&5G

The only network currently that may be willing to give a proper data package with 4G and later 5G is 3
