Five years ago, on April 3, 2019, Verizon switched on its 5G network in cities like Chicago and Minneapolis. Fast forward to 2024, and the United States now boasts the most number of cities with 5G network access in the world. According to 5G Americas, the US experienced a staggering 64% year-on-year growth in 5G connections by the end of 2023. By the end of last year, 5G in North America reportedly totaled a whopping 197 million connections, with telcos offering some of the fastest 5G plans in the world.
