Has there been any progress with this issue? I'd say being able to detect 5g is quite important. Does anyone know how the plugin behaves a the moment when a device is connected to 5g? Will it return UNKNOWN?

I will do a PR with the improvements for 5g. I already tested with android but I still some time for ios.

He doesn't have write access to the repository, only Apache members can merge it in.

Looking at the PR it looks like it's marked as a breaking change, so it won't be merged in until we prepare the main branch as a major release. Right now it's prepared as a patch release.

Additionally it only has 1 approved review, and usually we like to see at least 2 approved reviews from Apache members. Others are also welcome to review/test the PR.

I dont know how to fix the ios12 test fail, if someone can lead me on this I could try to fix what is missing to be approved. Anyway for the moment feel free to use my fork https://github.com/ZumelzuR/cordova-plugin-network-information
