Subject: What is C-Band? Here's what a new 5G flavor means for
AT&T and Verizon users
Story Highlights
- Reddit users have been posting C-Band speed tests showing
downloads of 400 Mbps to 800 Mbps.
- Rural users may, however, still find themselves in a low-band 5G
slow lane.
- AT&T supports C-Band on the same phones as Verizon, plus Google's
Pixel 6 series.
It may be hard to imagine after weeks of drama overnew C-Band 5G
wireless possibly interfering with aircraft radar altimeters <
usatoday.com>,
but C-Band is also a thing on the ground. And for AT&T and Verizon
users in the right places, it can be a good thing.
The mid-band frequencies those carriers lit up Jan. 19, with
downloads of multiple hundreds of megabits per second, help fill a
gap between millimeter-wave 5G with exceptionally fast speeds in
exceptionally few places and low-band 5G that reached far wider but
didn't run much faster than 4G.
C-Band's upside looks larger at Verizon, which touts coverage of
“more than 100 million people,”<
www.verizon.com>
but the scope of this service remained unclear until the company
updated its coverage map <
shown here> last
week.

T-Mobile US Inc (TMUS.O) will fire corporate employees who are not
fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by April 2, according to an internal
company memo posted on the blog The T-MO Report.
The blog said T-Mobile's new policy was announced on Friday in an
email from its human resource chief to all staff. It follows a
U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Jan. 13 that blocked President Joe
Biden's COVID-19 vaccination-or-testing mandate for large businesses.
