Yes, increasing the distance typically results in a higher ping.

Greater range means higher ping, but I’m not sure if 4G makes up for that compared to 3G. The current plan likely uses it.
In theory, the impact shouldn't be significant. A 5km distance translates to roughly 0.015 ms for RF signals. The variation would depend on infrastructure differences, which could either enhance or hinder your ping times. As long as the connection remains stable, ping largely reflects routing advantages.
Wireless often performs better than sending light through fiber in terms of latency. But if your signal strength is weak, the experience will be disappointing. Focus should be on signal quality, network standards (like 4G/LTE), and congestion factors such as airspace and backhaul capacity. Since you can't directly influence these elements, it's hard to expect a similar feel compared to what you're used to. Consider trying a trial or warranty period before making a long-term commitment.
