“5G Home, a new kind of home internet, is truly unlimited broadband service with no data caps,” Verizon said in a statement.

T-Mobile also launched its 5G Home Internet in the Dayton area in October to provide consumers in the region more options.

“Many parts of the country have extremely limited, slow Internet options and the pandemic has increased our reliance on Internet connectivity,” T-Mobile said.

Verizon’s new service is available to its customers for $50 a month with a qualifying mobile plan or $70 per month for customers without a qualifying mobile plan, according to the company’s announcement. T-Mobile offers its home internet service for $50 with autopay.

Both service providers join major internet providers like Spectrum and AT&T, which have provided high-speed internet options in the Miami Valley for years.
