This month, more than 100 million people in 1,700-plus cities
around the nation will have access to speeds up to 10x faster than
4G LTE1 via Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband network2. This means nearly
one in three Americans live in areas where they could experience
the transformative speed, reliability and power of 5G Ultra
Wideband on the go, or at their homes or business. For more
information, visit Verizon.com/5G and Verizon.com/5G/Business.
“This massive launch will put incredible speeds, reliability and
security in the hands of our customers and amplifies our offering
of reliable home and business broadband options to more places
around the country, well ahead of the commitment we made last
year,” said Hans Vestberg, Chairman and CEO of Verizon. “As 5G
Ultra Wideband becomes available to more and more people and
businesses, it will allow our customers to do more amazing
things.”
Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband brings power and performance
comparable to a broadband internet connection to your pocket. With
download speeds up to one gigabit per second3 and the capacity to
support data-heavy actions from multiple devices at one time, 5G
Ultra Wideband frees people up to do things on the go that many
could only do before when connected to their home internet service.
This includes everything from downloading huge documents and
seamlessly streaming movies in HD audio and video, to playing
console quality games and conducting video chats, video
conferencing and FaceTime calls with clear sound and video.4
Today’s news also accelerates Verizon’s wireless broadband
expansion, opening up choice for people and businesses in cities
around the country. With the addition of C-band later this month,
millions more homes and businesses will be covered by Verizon’s
wireless home broadband service. 5G Home and 5G Business Internet
enables customers to take advantage of all the speed and security
of 5G with a simple, easy set-up and without annual contracts and
other complications.
“We’ve already proven our success with Fios broadband in the
Northeast, and now we will give millions more consumers and
business owners around the country a real choice in how they get
their internet,” added Vestberg.
A map of mobility coverage will be available at launch and more
