I've been shopping around for faster home internet as my old phone lines have centurylink ADSL capped at 24mbps and I average around 20-21 with no activity - with a SD movie, or kids streaming toonies, I'm looking at around 7-10 free. I was about to pull the plug on Xfinity 200mbps at $45m but was buying a new iphone and the Verizon rep sold me on Verizon 5G for $25 added to my bill as there is a Verizon 5G relay in place very close to my home. Just plugged it in this morning and am averaging around 170mbps which is a vast improvement from what I was getting through CL at a slight savings no less. I have a month to try it out so have both at the moment. The iron test for me is both my wife and I work from home and leverage zoom quite a bit, so if we can both improve our experience & productivity with this service, I will be happy to drop CL and carry on for an extra $25 a month with Verizon.

One caveat is to get $25, you need to have auotpay but most providers I reviewed have this discount and increases by at least $10 without it. I am happy so far.

I'm looking at such an option for a van life friend. How has the latency been with VZW?

It has been great. I don't regret the move to VZW at all. In every way, it has been superior to ADSL through my phone carrier. Set up was a breeze - plugged it in, found the network and have been on since. I have had a two times where service did not stop but did slow down over the past 6 months or so. The old "cycle yer box" fixed the speed.

Again, I couldnt be happier with thid service as it stands for the cost. Value is magnitudes better than the previous carrier.

That's awesome to hear! Thank you.
