Draft expanded one paragraph: "Ookla’s comparison focuses on voice call setup, measuring how quickly a connection is established rather than overall call quality or data speed. It found that 4G VoLTE generally beats 5G VoNR in most locations. That does not mean 5G voice is failing; the summary notes the gap is narrowing as carriers tune their 5G deployments. The story sits within the broader transition from 4G to 5G, where newer network technology does not automatically outperform older systems in every practical metric."
