5G Nationwide: As the name suggests, 5G Nationwide aims to provide broad coverage across a large geographical area. It utilizes lower-frequency bands, typically below 6 GHz, which offer better signal propagation and can penetrate obstacles like walls and buildings.

Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband offers transformational speed and reliability. For example, downloads now take a fraction of the time, you can get audio and video in HD3 and you can experience console-quality gaming on the go.

This allows Verizon to more quickly expand and enhance its 5G Ultra Wideband network nationwide, more than doubling and, in some markets, tripling the 5G bandwidth available to serve customers.

Verizon 5G is available in over 2700 cities, performs like 4G LTE and is improving. And with 5G Ultra Wideband, which is available in over 1700 cities, you can get speeds up to 10x faster than what you have now and your downloads take a fraction of the time – get a movie in minutes, or a song in seconds.

The major difference between 5G nationwide Vs 5G ultra wideband is their location and speed. 5G ultra wideband offers faster speed while 5G nationwide offers fast speeds with a wider service area. You don't need to choose between these networks.

5G can be significantly faster than 4G, delivering up to 20 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps) peak data rates and 100+ Megabits-per-second (Mbps) average data rates. 5G has more capacity than 4G. 5G is designed to support a 100x increase in traffic capacity and network efficiency. 5G has lower latency than 4G.

The difference between 5G Ultra Wideband and Verizon Nationwide 5G is one of both speed and location. 5G nationwide has fast, reliable speeds with a larger service area than 5G Ultra Wideband, but Ultra Wideband is faster. This does not mean you're limited to specific locations with 5G Ultra Wideband.

Pros. Cheaper than cable Internet (in my area of Los Angeles at least). No cost increases for 2 years (depending on current promotions). Faster download speed than my cable Internet service (your speeds may vary).

Verizon's millimeter wavelength (mmWave)-based 5G operates at frequencies of about 28 GHz and 39 GHz.

In general, the 5G Ultra Wideband network's signal can reach up to 1,500 feet without obstructions. Verizon is leveraging small cell technology to help deliver more 5G signal which directly increases the coverage and speed of the network.

5G ultra wideband offers faster speed while 5G nationwide offers fast speeds with a wider service area. You don't need to choose between these networks.

5G is more responsive than 4G with lower latency, which refers to the time taken for device-to-network communications. Since devices can "talk" to the network faster, you'll get data more quickly. 5G uses less power than 4G since it can rapidly switch to low-energy use when cellular radios are not in use.
