    Tried 5g and got 620mbs per second download
    An iPhone sent a picture to my android still took a minute 5g only seems good for web

    Texting needs to be native internet between iphone and android

    Thoughts?

    Verizon has been rolling out it's 5G to everyone (almost everyone), but it's not the super high speed mmWave 5G that you get in some large cities.

    Verizon announces its nationwide 5G network

    But to answer when will you get it specifically.....no one here knows that, only your carrier can answer that specifically.

    5G is already available, depending on where you live. But even if 5G coverage is available in your neck of the woods, it's still not fully evolved into the mobility-altering experience its advocates have promised. At least, not yet.

    Pretty much. I would say in a good two years, it should be pretty much everywhere. Maybe three because of Covid. All the major phone networks here (Fido, Rogers, etc) are on it and soon it's going to be just a normal thing. So long story short . . . have a little patience :) Plus save up or get ready to get a payday loan as it will be pricey :)

    Only 5uw seems to be any benefit to speed and nationwide 5g seems no better than 4g.

    Hope they make it better

    I don't have a 5G phone myself. But I have friends that do have them, and they seem to be happy.
