I would think that nheighbours streaming would only affect your connection if they are using your connection because it is via a sim, so effectively a personal connection rather than shared from the landline connection.
Back haul network is always the bottleneck, more users less to go around
Yes, there's nothing "personal" about a mobile network. You are all sharing a limited resource (often quite limited in a rural area).
As said, if they've added some 5G it will likely have reduced the local 4G capacity, so might be useful to get ahead of the trend and get a 5G capable router.
Sadly, the network is probably not making enough money from a rural cell to convince them to spend significant money upgrading it.
