Is Verizon 5G better than fiber?

Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network offers typical download speeds of 90 Mbps to 170 Mbps and typical upload speeds of 15 Mbps to 30 Mbps. By comparison, fiber speeds generally range from 250 Mbps to 1000 Mbps , according to broadband comparison site BroadbandNow.

The two main 5G home internet providers are Verizon and T-Mobile , but smaller provider Starry Internet also has a fixed-wireless setup that uses the same wireless technology to get customers internet access primarily in apartment buildings.

Easy answer, No! For the last 10 years, every improvement in carrier wireless technologies was proffered as a potential technology to replace Wi-Fi and the answer was always the same, not yet. We saw it with mobile WiMAX, 3G, and 4G, it will be the same answer for 5G.
