Thank you for sharing those updates. Keep up the good work.

This is great for Verizon. I’m interested to see how it compares directly to n41 100 MHz, and as always great video sneed

[BigE]

is there a map where you can see what cities they are working on now and and ETA of the future

[joeramsey]

I am seeing n77 here in the Washington DC area...I see 60mhz and 100 mhz in different areas of the Washington DC area.

[idkperson]

This is great. I know you said in recent video att plans to pay for early clearance for there potion of course band too. Keep us updated. Thanks for the content sneep

I get 100+ on 4g verizon with a phone that is 5 years old and i live 50 feet from being outside the city limits. I still haven't been sold on the need for more especially on the mobile side of things. Seem like a huge expensive project for little benefit.

Great update! I’m in the Cincinnati market and it appears that just under half of the market is covered in UW, a big improvement from launch. My only concern is the capacity under extreme situations. At Kings Island amusement park just north of the city you still do not get a useable signal when the park is busy. When it’s not, you get typical UW performances. Clearly a capacity issue. I sure hope that extra spectrum comes to my market soon!

This is very good news! Do you know what kind of Gear is in Memphis? Memphis needs this

[msguy]

I’m about 90 miles west of Richmond and 110 miles south west of dc. I’m curious if my town will get any love. I’ll keep an eye out on tower upgrades and see if I spot anything.

[jonathanboudreaux]

I'm seeing speeds increases throughout Atlanta metro area, but I don't know what Verizon uses here. Anyone know about GA?

[antoinegeorge]

I get 300 hundred down on c ban with the 60 MHz of c ban on the Samsung gear and new year and New Jersey. And Pennsylvania all have samsung gear

[RYNZ]

Still waiting for C-Band here, consolation is that our market is suppose to get 200mhz(probably VZ doesn't plan on deploying mmW until years down the line) 2023 is gonna be wild here!

[ChesterPaulSgroi]

Question Mr. Sneed from a novice. Which phones will be able to take advantage of this expanded spectrum? Thank you for your time in replying sir.

[jl]

What’s the technical reason Samsung markets are behind on getting 100mhz ?

[straat]

The UW layer on the Verizon coverage map for Columbus OH seemed to get more density sometime recently. I haven’t checked it for a month up until yesterday. Would that have anything to do with this upgrade and if so would that mean Columbus is an Ericsson market? Or is the coverage map just jumping the gun?

But will it work indoors 🤔 the answer is No. 😅 I know I had c band UW on Verizon before I switched to T mobile . Verizon c band will not work indoors through brick buildings. I can go inside Walmart and get No c band then it drops off on Verizon. Inside Walmart on T mobile it stays on UC most of the time
