I'm thinking of swithching but afraid of being left in the lurch with poor service, even though 5G BB seems to get good reviews in the press. Has anyone had any experience of using it for streaming?
 
Slightly old post but I'm looking at this (5G broadband from eir or Three) myself as a possible option for a family member whose only other practical option is Virgin Media cable broadband. No fibre in the area and phone line broadband will only go to < 15 Mbps. Anyway, there are some discussion/feedback threads on Boards in case they're of any use to you or others...

 
I had the installer out to set up the router in the optimum position. It didn't work: even though Three say I have 5G coverage, the signal was too weak -- obstructed by our neighbour's massive bloody tree -- and switched back and forth to 4G.

It was amazing when it was on 5G, but it couldn't sustain it.

Order cancelled. Axe on order.
