A few weeks after Verizon last expanded its 5G network, the coverage is growing again.
Verizon 5G is now live in St. Paul, MN. This is the fifth city to get Verizon's 5G network, joining Denver, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Providence. Verizon has said that it plans to launch 5G in more than 30 cities in 2019.
Verizon customers in St. Paul can find 5G service in parts of the Downtown, Lowertown, and West Seventh neighborhoods around landmarks like the Minnesota Children's Museum, the Minnesota Museum of American Art, the Fitzgerald Theater, Cathedral Hill Park, and the Alexander Ramsey House.
