That's the insider information I received from Verizon yesterday as well.
As in, Verizon plans in rural first or Verizon thinks Dish will do rural first?
Maybe Verizon wants a big piece of the action before ATT and their AirGig takes hold.

Verizon is testing in Chicago and Minneapolis right now, then plans a vast deployment on cell towers nationwide. That was what I was told. I was also told existing customers will get it for $59.99. The modems are plug and play and require no tech visit. I still don't know how they plan to overcome the lack of sufficient backhaul in some places, but I'm excited to see what they come up with.
It's all cellular; just turn it on and it works. They'll ship you the gateway which I'm sure consists of a modem/wireless router combo.
Dish needs to get busy or Verizon is going to beat them to the party.
So all your home equipment and Hoppers will work as normal? Sorry, I am a little behind learning about 5G.
I guarantee that the verizon modems will not be plug n play

This was coming directly from the mouth of a senior business Enterprise consultant. So I'm going to believe him. Do you work for Verizon, Juan?
WOW, that will be nice. I hope they start out in the rural areas first too. Those folks deserve a break. Thanks comfortably_numb.
As someone who can only currently get 21/1.5 DSL, I can't wait!
"Trump also said the feds would push to get networks installed first in rural and farm country."

The senior business consultant is clueless...I know what they are installing..an outside antenna with coax to a inside router...5g frequencies don't penetrate buildings very well

Yeah and how do you know that? They're installing 5G in Moscow now? What credentials do you have that afford you so much unlimited knowledge?
It must be great being you!

Verizon 5G Home Installation FAQs | Verizon Wireless
Look, I'm just passing along the information I was given. He said there will be home installation kits. I never said they had them NOW.
They have to send someone out with a signal meter.. if they could skip that step ..home install kits would have been out months ago. . Trust me...5g is going to replace landlines...well atleast until they find it doesn't.....then 6g will replace landlines...when they start reusing 3g frequencies then you might see a home install kit but thats years away

Starband and all the other satellite services in the works will probably render them all obsolete anyway.
