I'm on 8.99 per month 4G plan. I wonder if I can switch to 5G plan for a month to try it out and then go back to 4G if I wont see much differences in speed and quality of signal. (switch back to 4G with my old 8.99 price tag)

There's no €8.99 plan as far as I know. 

Did you mean the €7.99 plan?

If you're on a legacy plan cheaper than €12.99 and switch to the €12.99 plan then you can't switch back. 

However, if you switch to another 48 plan (except for the 100GB €10.99) you will not be permitted to switch back to the 100GB €7.99 plan.​

If you need to contact 48 support about this then see the links in my signature below.

Whats the real differences between 4g and 5g in area with good signal strength? Is it worth to upgrade?

I'm on this old 8.99 price plan.

See here for example: 

Whether or not it's worth upgrading depends on your usage and needs. 

Myself and my young adult son find 4G fine. 

By the way, there's no €8.99 plan - did you mean the legacy €7.99 plan?

Another test from the same location.

Seems to be very variable/unpredictable.
