Verizon admits its 5G has no throughput advantage!

[DelJo63]

According to 9to5mac.com:

Verizon uses a shortcut to achieving 5G coverage, known as dynamic spectrum sharing, or DSS.​

​

[DSS 5G] reuses parts of 4G channels for 5G. Phones will automatically prefer a 5G network over a 4G one, so Verizon customers will see that coveted 5G icon pop up. But it’s all for show. Our most recent tests, using an iPhone 12 Pro in New York City, show that DSS 5G is frequently slower than 4G, and rarely faster.​

​

Verizon didn’t admit that its 5G would typically be slower than LTE, but did acknowledge that there is no real advantage to its current implementation of 5G.​
