Verizon's 5G speed test on a Moto Z3 sends your home broadband packing
Granted, its next-gen phone connectivity demo is limited to Chicago and Minneapolis for now, but a first is a first, and it will be adding 30 more "5G Ultra Wideband" markets by year-end. Meanwhile, Korea already has a nationwide 5G network built up, and all major carriers there will offer 5G plans when it goes live today and tomorrow with the release of the Galaxy S10 5G. SK Telecom even has a truly unlimited 5G plan with no speed caps for the equivalent of $70 a month, how about that?
As you can see from Verizon spokesman David Weissmann's video below, the phone is literally next to a pole peppered with base stations like a 5G Christmas tree on a clear and sunny day. Given the 5G standard's propensity for low building penetration, your results might vary, plus 768 Mbps is nothing breathtaking to begin with. The Koreans hit 2.65Gbps with the S10 5G just last week, for goodness sake! That's what happens when you can't use Huawei base stations to build out the 5G goods. Just kidding, CIA. Breathe.
Thrilled to be in Minneapolis as @verizon 5G UWB makes history!
