proxy sellers keep pushing 5G mobile proxies everywhere claiming higher trust scores than 4g. Bought a 5g pool last week for testing my ig setup and accounts still got flagged fast during creation. is 5g actually safer or just a marketing scam to charge double? arent both just rotating cgnat ips lol? pls share real data
 
5G and 4G networks generally cater to different bands, but most providers use the same IP pool for both 5G and 4G networks. Examples: Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile, etc.
I still don't use 5G because it produces an incredible amount of radiation for the human body. 4G speed is enough for me until 2026 so far so good.

Honestly, I think most sellers use “5G” more as a marketing point.
From my experience, account quality, behavior, and clean IP history matter way more than 4G vs 5G.
I’ve also seen solid 4G proxies outperform expensive 5G pools pretty often.
 
I tested both, and honestly I didn’t see any major advantage with 5G proxies.
Most flags usually come from bad IP reputation or aggressive account actions, not the network type itself.
In many cases, good quality 4G proxies work just as well and cost much less.
 
5G proxies aren’t magic. Instagram checks more than just the proxy. It also looks at your device, browser, cookies, account activity, IP history, and others. So even with a 5G proxy, accounts can still get flagged if the setup looks bot or automated.
 
The claim that 5G proxies are safer than 4G is largely the next game to double down. Essentially, both are real mobile IP addresses from the carrier shared with thousands of real users, therefore they have equal trustworthiness for Instagram's algorithm.
 
Whether you use a 5G or 4G proxy is less important than how you use it; if utilized correctly, it will not significantly impact your work.
 
People keep talking about 5G like Instagram is checking the little icon on your phone . If it was that simple we'd all be buying the same proxy
 
I think the difference is in the speed, but safe level of "safety". but ipv6 might be different, but thats available to both 4G and 5G as well
