BOWLING GREEN, KY – Residents across Barbourville, Bowling Green, Butler, Carrollton, Corinth, Dry Ridge, Falmouth, Fort Knox, LaGrange, Lexington, Mt. Washington, Owensboro, Paducah, Richmond, Shepherdsville, Versailles, Warsaw, and Winchester now have access to higher speeds and greater capacity from Verizon’s award-winning 5G network. Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband brings power and performance comparable to a wired broadband internet connection to customers’ pockets.
Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband enables people to do things on their mobile device that many could only do before when connected to their home internet service. This includes everything from downloading huge documents and streaming movies in HD audio and video, to playing console quality games and conducting video chats, video conferencing and FaceTime calls with clear sound and video.
“Verizon is widely known for having an exceptionally reliable 5G network experience, and it’s exciting to see the positive impact our work has had in Kentucky,” said Dean Brauer, Vice President of Engineering and Operations for Verizon. “This technology will not only bring faster speeds and more reliable connectivity, but expanding 5G service into more areas of Kentucky will unlock new opportunities for innovation and economic growth.”
Network enhancements in Kentucky
These deployments use Verizon’s recently acquired C-band spectrum. Verizon is deploying 5G Ultra Wideband using up to 100 MHz of C-Band spectrum in multiple Kentucky markets, and will add even more bandwidth once all of its licensed spectrum is made available. This additional bandwidth, which will be available at the end of this year, will provide exceptional speed and capacity.
Lastly, the addition of 5G service in Kentucky will result in exponential increases in data carried into and out of the cell sites serving the community, which requires upgraded fiber optic cable links. Verizon has increased the capacity on the fiber connections in many cell sites so they can carry 10 times the amount of data.

For customers in Kentucky, the additional coverage and capacity means more customers now have access not only to reliable, fast mobile service, but also Verizon Home Internet service, a different kind of home internet with no data caps.

Verizon Home Internet is reliable and fast enough to power home connected devices: smart TVs, tablets, phones, gaming consoles and more.
