What US Cities Will Get 5G In 2019?<\/h1>\n

5G will revolutionize the way we use the Internet, bringing high-speed data everywhere, creating smart cities, and even replacing home Internet connections. That\u2019s what the industry says, anyway. But when is 5G coming to your city?<\/p>\n

What Is 5G?<\/h2>\n

Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile are racing to get\u00a05G<\/a>\u00a0on your phone and\u00a0in your home<\/a>. But what is 5G, and how is it different from 4G LTE?<\/p>\n

5G is the wireless standard that will replace 4G LTE. It can theoretically reach speeds up to 10 gigabits per second, which is very fast\u2014but\u00a020 Gbps<\/a>\u00a0is the minimum target. To put things into perspective, that could theoretically be a hundred times as fast a 4G LTE connection, much faster than a ten megabits per second wired connection, and comparable to the speeds that\u00a0people get with wired fiber connections.<\/p>\n

And even though it\u2019s a wireless connection, 5G has a much lower latency than the wired connection you have at home.\u00a0According to the FCC<\/a>, fiber connections tend to have a 17-millisecond delay, and cable Internet connections tend to have a latency of about 28 milliseconds. But AT&T claims that their 5G connections have a delay between\u00a09 and 12 milliseconds<\/a>. That shortened delay time makes streaming, downloading, gaming, and video chatting much more reliable.<\/p>\n

What Cities Already Have 5G?<\/h2>\n

Service providers have been testing 5G in the real world to see how it works. Plus, they\u2019re racing to get your money. As a result, there are already some cities that have 5G connections. If you happen to live in one of these cities, you\u2019ll want to keep in mind that you can\u2019t really use mobile 5G connections without a compatible phone, so you\u2019ll have to wait a few months before 5G products start hitting the market.<\/p>\n

These US cities have 5G right now, as of January 17, 2019:<\/p>\n
