Verizon will bring ultrafast C-Band 5G to 100 million Americans within weeks:
Verizon Wireless plans to bring its 'Ultra Wideband 5G' service to more than 100 million people in the US later this month, delivering speeds of up to 1Gbps using C-Band spectrum.
5G networks will use a much more diverse range of spectrum than previous generations of mobile technology, with low-band frequencies like 700MHz offering wide coverage and high-band millimetre Wave (mmWave) delivering huge capacity over short distances.
Mid-range C-band 5G spectrum offers a compromise between these two desirable outcomes and will be a vital resource in the rollout of the high-speed networks.
Verizon used mmWave spectrum to become the first operator in the US to launch a commercial 5G service back in 2018 and, along with AT&T, T-Mobile, and US Wireless, won a licence for C-Band airwaves located between 3.7GHz and 3.98GHz in an auction earlier this year that raised $80 billion.
Now we can talk even faster! =)

Exactly this. I get tired of assholes calling me that sound like robots trying to fuck my ear.
But it is all going to go to faster advertising isn't it? Got to keep cell phone users thinking their cell phones have what plants crave.
Landlines that are so clear you can hear a pin drop? No, no, no, no, those neeeevaar existed! Be happy with your (*metallic grating sounds*) glorious cell phone! (*metallic grating sounds*)

Oh that? That's not their fault. Someone's been posting your number in chatbot rooms as a cybersex line, saying you speak EBCDIC with a Bocce accent at sultry T1 speeds. Can't really blame the *callers* for that; I bet they're getting kind of lonely during the pandemic as well. It's true, I heard it from ... one of my slack channel bots.
