5G is going to drastically change the internet and how we consume it. If you own cable stock, sell it.
The hidden fees are already there. You just can’t see them... because they are hidden. It is Verizon, right?Let’s start a pool to see how long it take for caps and hidden fees to be added in.
This just internet service, not TV.
It's not better than FIOS.
Many companies are going to go with 5G because it means they can give you access, without the need for the very costly infrastructure normal home internet requires. Companies like Comcast spend billions each year to maintain their network of wiring and cables that stretch down every street and to each and ever home. There are HUGE costs involved in that and they're passed on the to the customer (as every cost is at every business).
With 5G, we finally have a wireless that's a contender to replace home internet service. Until this point, 4G was just too slow and couldn't support multiple devices the way Comcast, Time Warner, etc could with wired home service. 5G has the ability to support the multiple devices (computers, TVs, IoT devices, smartphones, tablets, and more) that now make up the average home.
But there are still some issues. While 5G is better, it still doesn't have the low latency that gamers need. And while 300Mbit to potentially 1Gbit is possible with this Verizon offering, that's still going to fall short with companies like Comcast offering 1Gbit service now (and as has always been the case, the base speed continues to rise so in a few years 1Gbit will be far less than it costs now from them). Additionally, think of how many have issues getting decent wireless service in their home. That's not generally the case with traditional wired home service.
Where do you see the coverage?Still pretty limited in terms of coverage areas, even within the cities they're offering it.
And you can bet a data cap will be coming once they get the initial customers onboard.
If it were Apple, it would be a cylinder. They know how to innovate!Not a "box". Look at the picture. It's a cylinder.
It depends on what you do with your internet.How does more speed help me? Serious question
Everything works fine right now...
Customer experience is not the point. The point is customer acquisition to lock them in.They are offering a free Apple TV 4K with this service, so I hope they have considered that streaming 4K video is very data intensive.
Sure about that? I just read an article that says that 5g is capable of 1-2 ms, compared to 40-50 for 4G. With that said; wireless will never be just as stable as fiber
I am confused. Marketed as 5G, but no 5G network to make use of it in USA.
Why not market it as 9G
Still pretty limited in terms of coverage areas, even within the cities they're offering it.
And you can bet a data cap will be coming once they get the initial customers onboard.
And who is supplying this 5G Network in USA this year?What are you talking about? It is run off a 5G network. I don’t think you get how networks work...

Hey verizon, if youre going to give an apple tv instead of a cable box... maybe you want to get it together and support single sign on already. It's ridiculous at this point that Verizon still doesn't support it. I have to go to a website and sign in almost weekly on some apps.
Reread the first two sentences in the OP. Verizon is supplying 5G in those four cities starting Oct 1st.And who is supplying this 5G Network in USA this year?
Oooo ma mannnReread the first two sentences in the OP. Verizon is supplying 5G in those four cities starting Oct 1st.
I tried Clearwire! Just for fun. It was... OK. It worked. I think Sprint bought their spectrum?I seem to remember a company called ClearWire...
Thanks for this. I wasn’t sure if the benefits of 5G service and you pretty much summed it up for me. I suppose it’s a bit cheaper (right now), but I’m not expecting it to outperform my Comcast internet.
