Well yes, some things are worse than others, but there's only so far you can go in generalizing such things.  As there are various things that one can do that would make any type of internet access better, or worse.

I'm not aware of 5G having anything to do with fiber optics directly, other than the cell towers have to be wired to something to get to the internet at large, and that wiring could be fiber optics (or something else).  But that applies to every other form of internet access.  I'm sure that my message to this forum probably travels over fiber optics at some point, even though my internet access comes from my cable TV company.
