Verizon has expanded its 5G Home Internet service to Detroit, the sixth city in which it offers the service.

5G is a revolutionary wireless upgrade, promising speed in the gigabit range. As a result, companies like Verizon are looking to 5G for applications beyond traditional wireless service. Home internet is one such example, giving wireless companies a way to compete against traditional internet providers.

Now Verizon customers in Detroit will be able to take advantage of the new technology, via the company’s 5G Home Internet service.

“Detroit customers now have access to the next generation of lightning fast home broadband internet service,” said Frank Boulben, SVP consumer marketing and products at Verizon. “5G Home Internet on Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband Network will provide customers with flexibility, freedom and choice that enables a whole new world of experiences in the comfort of the home, something more useful now than perhaps ever before.”

This is good news for Detroit-based Verizon customers and will provide a nice alternative to traditional internet services and plans.
