The super fast 5G which you're getting at work is definitely 5G UW and I'd say that's high-band 5G.  The limitation of high-band 5G is that the radio waves don't travel very far at all...about 1500 feet.  The tower(s) by your home most likely have some combination of 4G LTE, low-band "regular" 5G, or mid-band 5G on them because most people don't want a cell tower in their backyard.  The low- and mid-band 5G radio waves travel longer distances, so provide better coverage, but the tradeoff is the data speeds will be slower.  Low-band 5G doesn't go faster than 4G LTE assuming LTE isn't congested.
