All three major US carriers have introduced their unmatched 5G plans and to make the most out of it, customers must choose the right plan for themselves. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon are introducing low-band 5G this year. By December 2020, customers will be able to enjoy next-generation networks.
For 5G, consumers would need compatible phones. 5G would be available in three categories: low-band, mid-band, and Millimeter-wave. In the initial phase, low-band 5G would be widely available and would be the cheapest package out of all the packages. Mid-band, as the name suggests, will provide frequency between the low-band and millimeter-band. For ultra-high-speed, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon are also offering millimeter-wave which will provide over 1 GB per second.
At the moment, T-Mobile has mid-band frequency and the other two carriers AT&T and Verizon are expected to add it shortly.
