Verizon’s 5G Home Broadband Launches In October

Are you looking forward to checking out how fast 5G internet speeds are? While we’re still waiting on smartphones to be launched that supports the technology, it seems that those at home can soon start to experience 5G connectivity as Verizon has announced plans to launch their 5G home broadband service come 1st of October.

Customers who are in the covered areas will be able to have access to the service once they subscribe, and those living in Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles and Sacramento, and California can actually start ordering the service and it will cost them $50 if they’re a Verizon customer, or $70 if they aren’t.

Also as per an earlier report, to help sweeten the deal and to make more customers adopt its 5G service, Verizon will also be throwing in a free Chromecast or Apple TV 4K, along with a three month subscription to YouTube TV, presumably all of which have been designed to showcase how fast 5G is that it can stream online content at high resolutions without any issue.

As for when phones are expected to get 5G, at the moment there has yet to be a phone launched that will support the tech, but we expect that will change dramatically in 2019 and the subsequent years when 5G becomes the new standard.
