Visible, a flanker brand of Verizon, just shared details about its plans for 5G service (hat tip to Dennis Bournique who tweeted about the news).
Visible will soon offer 5G service for phones in the iPhone 12 line. 5G service for some Android phones will be available a bit later.
5G won’t cost extra, but Visible suggested it may impose a speed cap (emphasis mine):
We believe that people deserve a better phone service experience, which is why we’re including 5G, with speeds up to 200 Mbps, as part of our core plan at no additional cost. No hidden fees, no forcing you to upgrade into a different, secretly-more-expensive plan.
I’m not confident the 200Mbps cap will be enforced, at least initially. In the past, Visible mentioned a 5Mbps limit on hotspot speeds, but the company didn’t strictly enforce the limit.
It looks like Visible’s 5G service will include both Verizon’s sub-6 5G and Verizon’s millimeter wave 5G:
At launch, 5G will be available for Visible members where Verizon 5G coverage is available.
