Verizon will start rolling out its 5G service in parts of Chicago and Minneapolis on 11 April, with a 5G network planned for 30 cities by the end of 2019, at a cost to subscribers of $10 a month. The company has said that it plans to offer “gigabit speeds” – or speeds up to one terabyte per second – across most of its territory within two years. Well behind arch-rival AT&T, Verizon will begin rolling out its 5G wireless network in two cities early in April. Sprint will commence its roll-out in May. A 5G-enabled add-on for the Motorola Z3 device has been launched to coincide with Verizon's roll-out, while a 5G-enabled Samsung Galaxy and LG device will follow.
