5G Ultra Wideband is the next stage in building a better network. 5G runs on a much higher frequency than 4G , which provides users with a much larger bandwidth. That means in a world where everyone is using data with unlimited plans, Verizon can support their users without any of them losing service.
Read moreWhy is Verizon so slow with 5G?
The reason for this is because Verizon uses a shortcut to achieving 5G coverage , known as dynamic spectrum sharing, or DSS. [DSS 5G] reuses parts of 4G channels for 5G. … Our most recent tests, using an iPhone 12 Pro in New York City, show that DSS 5G is frequently slower than 4G, and rarely faster.23 Ara 2020
