Reply to comment by nycdevil in JC has hardly any Verizon 5G Ultrawide coverage - way less than Newark (!) by mmmmyah

Are they still touting 5G hotspot connections for home internet use though? Because learning this makes those seem like competing goals.

Probably more of a good idea for suburban environments to prevent them from having to wire fiber to each house. Running a fiber cable to a dense 400-unit building is a lot more cost-effective.

That said, there have been millimeter-wave high-speed point-to-point internet services at commercial buildings in NY and Chicago for years. Just need to put the antenna on a tall building and point it at other buildings.
