What bands does Verizon 5G nationwide use?

For many on Verizon with a supported phone, the go-live for this C-Band 5G, which falls under their 5G Ultra Wideband tier , is supposed to provide a “10x faster than 4G LTE” connection. More specifically, Verizon says you should expect typical download speeds of 90 to 170Mbps and around 15 to 30Mbps on the upload.

Our 5G Ultra Wideband network uses high band (mmWave) and mid-band (C-band) spectrum to deliver a top-of-the-line 5G experience. 5G Ultra Wideband provides game-changing benefits, like speeds up to 10 times faster than what you have now.

5G Ultra Wideband is now available to customers in parts of Akron and Nashville . Customers in Nashville and Akron also have access to Verizon’s 5G Nationwide network which runs on lower spectrum bands than 5G Ultra Wideband, using an advanced technology called Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS).
