I thought it was one of those color changing lizzards that sat on the
antenna that made it go faster :)

Verizon HomeFusion (later rebranded LTE Internet - Installed) came out
in 2012, and installation was also contracted out. Remember the
cantennas?
They also had a service called LTE Internet and Home Phone that used
an indoor cellular modem, it looks like that has been discontinued.
They also had a voice only service called something like Verizon
Wireless Home Phone that was modestly popular, not sure if that has
also been discontinued. They also have their One Talk small business
VoIP/cellular system that IMHO is a piece of garbage. Customers blame
their ISP and gradually come to the realization that One Talk is not
ready for primetime.
So the question is whether Verizon learned any lessons from HomeFusion
and knows how to do it better now, plus I assume mmWave technology
will have more installation and LOS challenges than 700 MHz. Oops, a
butterfly landed on my window, my Internet is down.

Don’t underestimate the competition, specially by downplaying it with
past decisions.
The installation is being outsourced:
Who is Asurion that will be doing the 5G Home installation?
<https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/5g-home-installation-faqs/>
Asurion is a Verizon authorized vendor that provides technicians for
installation of 5G Home. You can use CheckMyBadge.com
<http://www.checkmybadge.com/> to verify if the technician is an
authorized employee of Asurion.

I think they're going to sour on that business model fairly quickly -
they have in the past.
They've really gotten to the media on this, they're billing it as
"world changing" 🙄

Oh, for sure. I really wonder though how well it's going to do
inside at those frequencies or if they're going to try the
outside mounted unit again (or have that for an option).
Looks like they are going to do outside installs depending on
location, and it will be installed by a tech, not self installed.
