Verizon recently announced the world's first commercial 5G service. "Verizon 5G Home" will roll out in Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles and Sacramento on October 1, with pre orders starting tomorrow. Verizon says the service will be free for the first 3 months, and cost $50 a month for existing Verizon customers. The company says users should expect speeds of "around 300 Mbps and, depending on location, peak speeds of nearly 1 Gig, with no data caps."
Further advancing 5G, the company isn't waiting for the most recent technical standards to deliver 5G Home, pushing ahead with its own proprietary 5G standard in this initial commercial launch. "To be first, we encouraged others in the ecosystem to move more quickly at every step," said Vestberg. "We appreciate the partnership of network equipment makers, device manufacturers, software developers and chip makers in reaching this critical milestone. The entire wireless industry gets to celebrate."
