We’re all witness to one of the biggest turf wars ever as Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile Battle for signal coverage throughout the US. According to a report from Verizon, Verizon wireless internet now covers over 30 million homes in the US.
Verizon wireless internet covers 30 million homes and 2 million businesses
Verizon is one of the major US signal carriers, and it’s constantly trading blows with AT&T and T-Mobile. T-Mobile. The company posted a blog post today. Today highlighting it’s the latest milestone.
Verizon recently unveiled its 5G Ultra Wideband internet, and it’s gaining some traction. Now, the company announced that it’s easy-to-install plug-and-play Verizon wireless internet service has reached over 30 million houses across America.
The CEO of Verizon’s consumer group, Manon Brouillette group said in a statement, “we’ll continue to bring [the plans] to more and more places around the country, paving the path to becoming the top home Internet provider in America.” This means that Verizon is planning on further expanding its home internet past the 30 million homes.
In this statement, it says that Verizon will be introducing 5G home internet and 5G business internet and additional cities including Boise, El Paso, Grand Rapids, and Panama City this week.
Also, 5G home internet will be available in Baltimore next month. We can expect even more cities to be added to the list as the year goes on.
In other Verizon news: Verizon will ditch two-year contracts in lieu of three-year contracts
Two-year carrier contracts are pretty much a reality in the smartphone world, whether you like them or not. They give people the opportunity to gradually pay off expensive devices rather than paying full price at once. This is becoming more and more of a necessity as iPhones and Galaxy phones push further past the $1,000 mark.
However, for Verizon, it seems that the company wants to make some changes. Recently, we found that Verizon is phasing out its two-year contracts and is replaying them with three-year contracts. This locks customers into an agreement that will last 36 months as opposed to 24 months.
This may not sit well with most people, as a two-year contract is long enough. It gets worse when you factor in the fact that there are no early payoff options unless you want to pay off your remaining balance in one lump sum.
While this may seem like a bummer, it could be good for people who want to get a more expensive phone and who don’t really care about upgrading every one or two years. Not only that, but since the commitment is for a bit longer, the monthly payment should, obstinately, be lower.
