5G cellular faster than 5Ghz WiFi. Is that right?

Just tested my speeds for comparison sake.
Cox Gigablast, 3.1 modem, AX6000 Archer T-P Link router.
IPhone 13 Pro, 512Gb
12-feet from router.
5Ghz WiFi — 723.6 down, 35.5 upload
2.4 GHz WiFi — 713.5, 37.0
5G Verizon Cellular — 742.9, 35.2
These speeds are pretty constant. Pretty fast to me with no delays or buffering in phone or TV.
Question: is it common for 5G cellular to nose out 5Ghz WiFi?

Is there a site or app that will show me the nearest 5G tower to my home. Just curious and might explain high 5G cell speeds.

I would assume if you are hitting such a "round" number (in computer parlance), that your cable internet is limited to 512Mbps download.

Under ideal conditions, 2.4 GHz WiFi will support up to 450 Mbps or 600 Mbps, while 5 GHz Wi-Fi will support up to 1300 Mbps

If you're asking should you drop your cable Internet for a 5G hotspot, I'd say turn the wifi off on your phone for a few days and see if you notice.

Speedtest has a 5g map of the different towers.

Are you in Baton Rouge? I thought we weren't getting C Band until late 2023.
To answer your question, it depends on the type of 5G network you're on.
Low band is similar to LTE-advanced, mid band up to a gigabit from what I've seen online, and 2+ gigabit on ultra wideband.

It's such a "round" (power of two) number because its his phone storage size you're quoting.

Oof. I was wondering why people were down voting.

If that's Mbps then something is wrong with your testing

I thought so too, but looking up the router it supports 4x4 MIMO Wifi 6 on the 2.4Ghz and can do up to 1148Mbps. His phone can support 2x2 MIMO.
I'm not sure why the 5Ghz is not hitting 1 Gbps though. It can theoretically hit 4.8Gbps with 4x4 according to TP-Link.
OP when you did your speed test did it show 2 different servers? You should one for cable internet and a different one for cell internet. All 3 of your speed tests are essentially the same speed. Seems odd unless that's the max speed the Iphone can handle.
