Verizon customers in four cities are getting 5G-based Internet service Monday - The Boston Globe

That's not 5G by the industry standard definition.
See this thread: Maybe this Dish 5G thing is real after all
VZW is not following the defined standards for 5G. It's a souped up LTE wireless broadband service being labeled as 5G.
Welcome to the standard conversation with Juan
Did you read the thread I linked? Verizon's home broadband parameters are NOT 5G. Do you have evidence to prove otherwise?
Mobile 5G is not available yet. Home based 5G has been around for several months in select cities from Verizon and ATT. Verizon, ATT, and TMobile all plan to offer mobile 5G in 2019.
When Is 5G Coming to the US? (Updated for 2018)

The best ones are when these girls post their entire life stories on Facebook.
Then they make fake profiles and stalk other women.
It’s crazy
It will just require a software update...this is fixed wireless...for home internet...it has absolutly nothing to do with lte...its 5g because Verizon calls it 5g..and thats that

I can call you a car if you are standing inside of a garage, BUT, that doesn't make you a car...
LTE is a standard and you couldn't call it LTE unless it met those standards. Just because Verizon claims they have 5G doesn't make it so.
What’s more terrifying to me is how dependent we have become on the internet and how much worse it’s going to get especially if this 5G hype comes true.
I probably mentioned this before. A couple years ago when there was a massive DDoS attack that took down a bunch of servers on the East Coast, the Sales & Marketing Department where I work was in total chaos. They use a ‘cloud’ based service that is accessible via a smartphone or tablet app that contains sales literature, product information, demo videos and such that has been uploaded by one of our Marketing Managers. The company all of this is through is European based, but their US servers were affected by the DDoS attack. While I was taking hysterical phone calls from our sales guys and the sales managers were breathing down my neck, I didn’t realize they were affected by the attack until the next day. My statement to everyone who called up in a panic was, I can’t tell you guys how to do you job, I can’t tell the know it all wanna be hip and cool sales mangers how to do their jobs, but there is no way I would rely on a service where content is remotely hosted. Have a local copy of your presentations and videos or upload them to the employee restricted area of our FTP site if you must. It’s not as flashy as the app user interface, but that content will always be accessible. What’s more important.
My point to that story is a key part of an entire department of where I work was taken down by an attack, and that caused a lot of headaches and problems. What happens where there is a wider attack, that takes down more things that are actually essential. Will self-driving call come to a complete stop, will they drive off a bridge? What if a surgeon is doing surgery remotely and connection is lost? I assume there are back up connections, but what if all servers go down?
We as a society, myself included have become way too dependent on technology, and specifically the internet. WWIII will be fought in cyberspace and it’s those that have Ham radios will be the ones able to communicate, those that have non-connected cars that will be able to drive, those with cash will be able to buy things. Attacks, hacking, infrastructure going down, individual components failing and more will have a much larger impact as we continue to get more connected and dependent.
While I could go on forever about this topic, for a satirical look, watch South Park episode 6 of season 12, Over Logging. That episode hit the nail on the head, the moral of that episode from 10 years ago is now true more today than ever before. For a serious look at technology, the effects and consequences especially on kids, Disconnected: How To Reconnect Our Digitally Distracted Kids, is an excellent, eye opening read. I don’t have kids, but for anyone wondering about giving their kid a tablet or phone, this is a must read.
I wish more people would think like you do. Unfortunately, by the time the ultimate war breaks out, it will be too late for most. There's never been a more important time to be able to be self-sufficient and disconnect from technology if necessary. I'm still a LONG ways off from that. But I'm trying. I already live far outside any major metropolitan area (in case it's bombed), I'm learning to hunt (in case the food supply is disrupted) and considering ways to be able to make energy at least temporarily in case of a power grid failure.
If learning to hunt, and self defense, do not learn just a rifle or gun. Learn a bow as well. I am currently learning the recurve and the compound. Unfortunately, I am in an area that would be Prestine to attack, due to the specific military installation nearby.
I have a place to go that's way up in Northern NY State, with ample fishing and hunting, away from any metro areas and I learned all the back roads to get there from Buffalo. One of the things I hated about moving to Illinois was being 12 hours further away from there. Technology, internet that is, is no problem because there's no signal up there anyway 
Huh?...The equipment requires a software change much like a computer in a car

The 5g standard is being written by Verizon and ATT for the most part

AT&T is now putting an ‘e’ at the end of ‘5g’ in all their ads. So they’re calling it a 5ge network, which is just corporate speak for, slight improvement. They did the same thing during the 4g roll out. Originally 4g was supposed to be this massive upgrade, that would compete with the cable companies, instead they just started calling it Lte, and at best it is competing with dsl.
