We just received the new Verizon 5G Home modem/router. It is quite a bargain. The hardware is free. Since we have an existing qualified Verizon cell plan, our monthly fee is $25, which is half off (with autopay). The price is locked in for 2 years. They will also pay up to $500 to get out of any contracts.
The service is for unlimited data. I believe the data traffic is prioritized behind the 5G cell phone connections. I did a speed test this morning around 5am (no competing internet traffic) and got around 100Mbs down. During the day it's closer to 40Mbs. Uploads are quite good at around 20Mbs.
It's a fairly large cube - 6"x6"x6" with two ethernet ports. It lacks an external antenna port. It's compatible with 5G and downward compatible with 4G LTE. It's also not GEO locked to a location. We are full time travelers, so having the location unlocked is critical.
Setup and Managing the service is done through the same My Verizon app the cell phones use. The box is managed via the internet. Initial connection and setup is performed via wifi. There is an easy to use QR code on the bottom of the box to really simplify the process.
The service has a 30 day trial period with free returns. I plan to reduce my cell plan by removing all the hotspot data I'm paying extra for, so the $25 a month will wash.
Free is a great price.
