Verizon Will Launch 5G Home Internet Access In 2018 (engadget.com)

wyattstorch516 writes: Real competition may finally be on the way for the residential broadband market. Verizon will be the first company to introduce 5G wireless broadband in a select number of cities. This will give residential customers an alternative to cable/fiber offerings. 5G wireless can offer speeds in the range of hundreds of megabits per second. Full technical specifications as well as pricing plans have yet to be determined. The launch is scheduled for the second half of 2018.

My phone doesn't work in my basement, and I live in my basement. No, not my mom's basement, my wonderful, fully furnished basement. The cats live upstairs...

So, you live in your cats' basement? Is that supposed to be better?

Eventually winter will bring ice zombies from the frozen north and doom all of humanity.

Canadians aren't THAT bad.
