Early tests of Verizon's 5G network in Chicago, which only launched this week, suggest it isn't ready yet.
Verizon activated its new 5G network in Chicago and Minneapolis on Wednesday. It's supposed to be much faster —the future of the way we use our phones and mobile devices — but early tests from CNET and The Verge in Chicago suggest it isn't very good yet.
"Even carefully positioned a few feet away from the 5G node, the large on-screen icon exclaiming Verizon's 5G network toggled back and forth from 4G to 5G," CNET said."After two hours, we had run maybe one clean Speedtest.net app side by side with the Galaxy S10 Plus." Samsung's phone is a 4G LTE device.
Verizon explained to CNBC why the network might have dropped in and out, but cautioned it did not know where the news outlets tested its network.
