Verizon launches 5G in Miami, Salt Lake City, Charlotte, Greensboro, Grand Rapids, and Spokane

Verizon launched 5G in six more markets today, for a total of 10 launches this week alone and 28 so far in 2019. The latest cities to get Verizon 5G are Miami; Salt Lake City; Charlotte and Greensboro, North Carolina; Grand Rapids, Michigan; and Spokane, Washington. They have promised to launch in at least 30 cities this year, so it is likely that there will be additional cities announced next week.

To utilize 5G, Verizon subscribers will need a 5G-capable phone like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G as well as an unlimited data plan. Verizon’s 5G coverage is not widespread and is limited to only parts of the cities, so users in the area should check coverage maps. While coverage is more limited than AT&T’s or T-Mobile’s respective 5G networks, Verizon’s 5G network is considerably faster.
