The other day happened upon a crew who have been working along Pacific Street, near Regency, installing fiber optic cable lines. I first thought they were OPPD related, and I asked a couple of the workers what they were up to. They both said they were hired to install the fiber optic lines for Verizon.
I guess I am not tech savvy enough to know if this is related to the upcoming 5G upgrade or something completely unrelated. Maybe someone on here has some insight.

They’ve been doing the same thing on 52nd street. They put some sort of wiring/junction box in on my front parking. I have no idea what it is.

Verizon has rolled out 5G service in parts of Omaha (mainly the downtown area for now). Anyone try it yet that has a compatible device?

If by everywhere you mean a few selected spots around the US, then yes. Millimeter wave range is very small.

Again, excuse my ignorance, but are 5G phones even being sold at this point? I know that Apple isn’t on board yet.

5G won’t change everything, or at least probably not your things

A good read covering 5G, albeit not just Verizon related.
