On the other hand ,5G promises 100 times faster data speeds than 4G and throughput (the number of units of information a system can handle in a given amount of time) of up to 10 gigabytes per second. It also promises to reduce latency (the time it takes for data to be transferred) to less than 1 millisecond (ms) from the current 50ms (in a 4G network).

5G data plans will undoubtedly be more expensive than 4G data plans (at least during the time of the launch). In countries such as the United States, service providers charge an additional $10 (roughly 10% more than existing 4G plans) for 5G services. As a result, we can expect the same in India.

However, 5G services will be aimed more at Enterprises (such as Industries and Factories undergoing service digitization) and usecases such as Internet of Things (IOT) and Virtual Reality. This would allow service providers to charge an additional fee for 5G services.
