We use Verizon for cell phones, and have been very satisfied with them for a long time. But...i'm not sold on their local version of 5G right now. I have noticed VERY slow data rates when my phone switches over to 5G as opposed to the "old" 4G. For example: When playing Mallory Hill last week, I noticed my phone receiving a 5G signal. Launching my Bushnell Golf app took until we were on 2 tee until the course maps were downloaded. Previously, using 4G, that process took less than 10 seconds. For that reason alone, I would be reluctant to have my home internet based on 5G cell service.
