Everything should be 4G, 5G and wireless to our homes like our mobiles.
Yes, it is currently more expensive, but the cost could come down, if you take out the costs to maintain the cables in the long term.

Wireless will never match fibre. Period. Like I said in my post above, the current record for fibre speed is 159Tb/s over a distance of over 1000kms. 5G will be 1Gb/s with a possible distance away from the tower of what? 5kms? Over that, there would be too much interference from the atmosphere to see those speeds over large distances.
Fibre is the future of all telecommunication needs and is the backbone of the wireless networks that the telcos roll out. Nothing will superseed it until someone discovers something that travels faster than light.
