Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

I wonder if the latest iPhone iOS 15.2 update allows access to the 2d 5G network, Can anyone check?

Well that's annoying. Someone should've told 3GPP before they went and standardised on it.

Its not the standard, its the frequency.  All telcos should be reusing existing LTE or WCDMA bands. 700, 900, 1800, 2100, even 2300.  

 

Leave anything over 2300Mhz for in-building wifi.

So does this mean that 5G is now enabled for my iPhone 6S? I updated it to the latest iOS...

Yes, ultimately it will use those bands, if only it weren't for those pesky phones that don't support 5G yet. LTE could also use all those bands if only it weren't for those pesky phones that don't support LTE yet.
