Verizon 5G Home Internet Reviewed! More Options, More Consumer Power

#Verizon5GHomeInternet Let’s face it! Home internet options are terrible when it comes to consumer choice. Generally, you have two options when you move into a new neighborhood and some folks, in some places, even have just one. Well, Verizon has a service which may be just what you’re looking for. At the very least, it creates more competition. Tshaka says though that it may do much more than just open up more competition, he thinks it may be a solid option for many internet users. He dives into the service and the hardware and how they both perform.

I have had this for over two months now and have been so satisfied. No problem with cloudy weather. I have had my tv, 4 phones and an iPad running at same time and no problem. Would recommend this to anyone that can get it.

I have 16 smart devices running on the WiFi and have had zero issues. Getting a solid 150-200 mbs download speeds on the WiFi and 20-40 mbs unload speeds with unlimited data all for 50 bucks! I was paying Cox 50 bucks just to have unlimited data plus the price of the internet. Needless to say I cut Cox and I am very satisfied with Verizon. My son and I both do heavy multiplayer gaming and have had no issues.

Was paying $70 per month with Spectrum. Since I use Verizon for my phone plan, I get the Home Internet for only $25 per month. I don't have heavy internet usage (At most, moderate laptop use, phone, if I watch a streaming service on my Playstation) in a small apartment. Great deal.

Thank you very much for this review and everyone that commented. You all convinced me and picked one up today and am very satisfied. I went from an atrocious 3mb with frontier to over 200mb with Verizon. For those wondering why only 3mb. We just moved to a 3 bedroom mobile home. Everything is great about the home and the area but this is the gotcha part. Frontier made a deal with the management to be the sole provider for this mobile home park. They haven't updated to fiber in this area yet, so they're running on ancient dsl phone lines and are charging residents 50 bucks for 3mb. And no, it can't be upgraded. Yet. I was like hell to the nah. We're gonna figure something out and came across this video. Thank you again!

This was the first video I found that actually explains what this is and how it performs. Thank you for providing this clarity!!!

Thank you for this report and review. I have had this Verizon 5G home internet for about a week now. It is working incredibly well compared to my Orbitel service. They raised my monthly service from $82 to $102. So I am thankful like you said for competition. When I called to cancel they of course we’re going to give me all kinds of deals. Still though not as good as Verizon. I have a Casita where my son lives and he is getting no interruptions for speed with his gaming. Sometimes it can be slower if we have a lot of streams going on. Thank you for the tips on rectifying any issues early on with this service.

I was paying $140 a month for just my internet with Cox. Now with this I pay for my cellphone and internet combined through Verizon for that price. Huge savings!!!

I have been using this for over a year and it works really well. I haven't had any issues so far.

Has anyone have this happen? I got a promotion thing in the mail saying that my address qualifies for Verizon 5G. I didn't really consider it at the time. Fast forward 6 months later. I am considering trying it, but when I enter my info on Verizon's page, it tells me it isn't available in my area, yet.

I have had the Verizon 5G home internet for about a week now. I am getting close to 300mbps max and 70 min. It has been excellent and is half the price of the starlink service I had been using.

[jamesharv]

I have the service after watching your video. I ordered it went really smooth. I cancelled comcast.

@reviews
Org. Awesome content! Thanks for sharing. BTW, I’m an Enterprise Wireless Solution Architect and I must congratulate you on how you presented and spoke to the nerd knobs and features on RF/Spectrum and throughput for folks that don’t quiet understand or care to. Great job and thanks again. 👊🏽

[PLAYMESSIAH]

I just got this installed today, I was the 6th person in the entire state to have this setup. And I must say, I am truly BLOWN away. There is literally NO buffering or latency while being connected to 9 devices. This is going to be huge. Internet providers are going to be shaking in their boots 😂 and can we talk about the fact that I have my phone, devices, and services all under one umbrella. This is the future. Bye bye Xfinity 👋🏼😂😂😂

[mr.wright]

Great video! I have Cox Cable and we have basic cable and internet and pay $290 a month. I’m sold and going to give it a try. Thanks for the review.

[Shadowwolf-gdcy]

This is one of the best reviews I have ever seen thank you so much!

[Brianthehistorynerd]

I’ve been seriously thinking about getting this. I currently have xfinity service and my promotion ran out. IF they can’t offer the same promo I’m definitely doing with this. Your review is phenomenal and definitely answered all my questions.

[forgettablelisa]

Dude, thank you so much for going through the router setup, the buffering issue is what would have kept me from using this option and leaving me stuck with Spectrum. Verizon should clip that portion of this video to their sign up page!

[silverslider]

Can you hard wire your PS5 directly into the router? I’m asking because I’ve always had better connection for online gaming with a hard wire connection.

[jeffstangl]

Thanks for adding info about your testing and sons experiences. We have the AT&T, dropped to lowest tier because price hikes, but can't their customer service.

[armourbl]

Thank you for the video. I'm giving Verizon 5G a try to replace my 20+ year service with Cox Communications, which has been like having a crazy girlfriend (lots of highs and lows) for the customer experience. Really hoping I'll get more stable service and performance from Verizon. I have a tower like 100 yards from my house, line of sight, no obstructions, so hopefully that will be very good. Oh yeah, going from $90 per month to $25 is gonna be nice too.
