Race to 5G Update: AT&T's Consumer 5G, Verizon's mmWave Coverage Maps, mmWave vs Sub-6

AT&T was eager to claim bragging rights last year when it delivered on its promise to launch the nation's first mobile 5G network - squeaking the debut in just under the wire before the end of 2018.

But it was an extremely underwhelming launch - with service offered on just a single compatible device in minuscule parts of just twelve cities, and regular customers couldn't even try it.

AT&T 5G was only available to specially invited AT&T business customers.

Now, a full year later, AT&T is at last ready to start offering 5G to general consumers.

But don't get too excited just yet - what AT&T is offering is once again nothing to get too excited about, yet...

Meanwhile in the race towards the 5G future - Verizon has at last published 5G coverage maps, and T-Mobile remains on track to roll out nationwide coverage next month.
