Is Verizon 5G nationwide really 5G?

The regular “5G,” meanwhile, is real 5G but only on the low-band flavors . AT&T uses “5G Plus” for its millimeter-wave and C-band 5G networks. Verizon calls its millimeter-wave and C-band 5G networks “5G Ultra Wideband,” “5G UW” or “5G UWB” (the exact icon will vary based on your device).

Right now, you can find the Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband network in parts of dozens of major cities including Los Angeles, Denver, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Boston, New York, Atlanta, Miami, Philadelphia and more .

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.
