When Verizon initially launched 5G in 2018, it was a pre-standard mmWave FWA. Since then, and in line with the articulated plan to provide nationwide broadband using wireless and its fiber-based Fios footprint, Verizon has used its C-Band holdings to dramatically expand the availability of home internet service. At a 2022 investor event, the company projected that 50 million households would be covered by the end of 2025, 14 million businesses in the same timeframe, and 4 million to 5 million total subscribers by the end of 2025.
