September 29 2020 - 09:00AM
New cities. New industry-leading hardware. New perks. Beginning
October 1, Verizon will launch 5G Home Internet in Minneapolis
& St. Paul, bringing the blazing fast 5G Home Internet service
to customers in eight cities, along with newly designed hardware
including easy self-setup using augmented reality. It’s an ideal
broadband service for those who are working or schooling from home,
binge-watching content or powering a smart home.
New cutting-edge hardware
available
The newest 5G Home hardware, 5G Internet
Gateway, is a first-to-market MMwave 5G CPE/Router. 5G Internet
Gateway is more advanced allowing customers to experience peak
speeds of up to 1 Gbps1; that means multiple devices running at the
same time for all your connectivity needs. The new hardware comes
with a more streamlined design, greater antenna range, and
augmented reality functionality for easy set up. Want some help?
We’ve got you covered and can set it up for you.
“Verizon's new 5G Internet Gateway is a
game-changer for our customers,” said Frank Boulben, SVP Consumer
Marketing and Products at Verizon. “With people spending more time
at home during these challenging times, the expansion of 5G Home
Internet to new markets with new and improved hardware will provide
customers with the flexibility and reliability to enjoy more
digital experiences and increased productivity from the comfort of
their home.”
Content & more
It’s all about the content. Verizon teams up
with some of the best content providers in the industry to give
customers exclusive offers. New 5G Home Internet customers will get
YouTube TV for one month and Disney+ for one year on us. For all
streaming needs, customers get a free Stream TV device, which
delivers access to an extensive library of OTT channels, apps and
entertainment, including Amazon Prime Video and Netflix.
There’s more. For the smart home geeks, new 5G
Home Internet customers will get a free Amazon Smart Home Bundle
which includes an Echo Show 5, Ring Stick Up Cam, Echo Dot and
Amazon Smart Plug to create the smartest home around.
