Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband Connectivity to Cover 175 Million People by End of 2022

I only get 5Ge from ATT which is just rebranded LTE and I live in an area where ATT really wants to impress. I have never seen real 5G.

Wow!!! No ATT 5G in the entire state where I live. My neighborhood has multiple cable and towers. When I talk to the people doing the work, what they are doing is for some other carrier than AT&T. Once I pay off my phones/iPad I'm going to switch carriers. Though in the past I've found them all sucky.

I found it unusable most of the time in Long Beach, CA for a week. I was surprised however I would drive several blocks and the 5G UW icon stayed. Speed tests were barely 50mb down where as if I try in Denver I'll get 2.5GB down and can actually load things.

Since I got my first 5g phone last Sept., the 13 pro, I’ve been consistently connected to 5guc on T-Mobile. Mostly the midrange band but there’s plenty of mmWave around major traffic areas like shopping centers and such.

When I got my iPhone 12 at launch the 5G and 5GUW was super fast in my city (NYC). The service has greatly degraded since then to LTE speeds most of the time. I had the same experience in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. Kinda underwhelming in the end. Every once in awhile I'll still enjoy a fast signal but more often then not it's just LTE speeds with a 5G icon.

My experience as well. Even speeds labeled 5GUW on the upper right corner are not all that fast. Did Verizon change the definition of ultra wide band?
