Vodafone Offers GigaCube 4G/5G Home Internet in Germany for Flexible, Plug-In Broadband

Vodafone is marketing GigaCube in Germany as a self-installed 4G/5G home internet option that runs over its mobile network instead of a fixed line.
The product targets renters, temporary homes and backup-connection users by avoiding technician visits and long installation processes; customers plug in the device and connect multiple devices via Wi-Fi or local networking.
Vodafone positions GigaCube for private customers, while the format can also suit small offices and temporary workspaces needing basic internet without fixed infrastructure.
The offering is not sold in the US, but it mirrors a broader wireless-broadband model in which carriers use cellular gateways to replace or supplement cable and fiber where mobile coverage is strong.
Why don't US providers offer a high-spec wireless router like Vodafone's, despite the massive demand for 5G home internet services?
With network capacity becoming a major hurdle, what is the next technological leap required to sustain the booming wireless home internet market?
As government-funded fiber expands, can wireless home internet truly compete on reliability, or is it just a temporary fix for underserved areas?
