Verizon, T-Mobile Home Broadband Targets

Both Verizon and T-Mobile have said they will use new C-band and existing spectrum to introduce new home broadband services that compete with cable operators and other internet service providers.


By the end of 2021, Verizon expects to cover nearly 15 million homes with its home broadband product, and by the end of 2023, 30 million homes, using both 4G and 5G networks.


T-Mobile’s service presently offers speeds of about 50 Mbps for $60 a month, using the autopay feature. 


Verizon’s 5G Home internet now offers download speeds up to 1 Gbps in 18 markets, with one to two million households expected to be covered by the millimeter wave network by the end fo 2021. 


Verizon expects to expand coverage to 15 million locations with LTE Home (using 4G) and the C-band spectrum. Verizon has not yet said what it aims for, as far as speed.
