that is the model phone you have, not the Carrier/ISP you are signed up with to get your phone service.
Did the update occur as an OTA, or did you do it with Kies?
we really need to get someone who is familiar with your carrier's update habits.

The international S5 he has get updates without carrier's tinkering with it 
Nice to see Samsung is rolling out fast updates/bugfixes to 5.0, what did you receive 5.0.1?

just wish that Verizon had left it alone precisely the way that Samsung released it.

If this is for real then the rest of us will get that update soon. As long as carriers don't screw it up 
Fingers crossed...

From #1.3 of 35 Galaxy S5 models - know yours???
"So called, "bugfix", updates for these unbranded models is therefore very easy for Samsung to release and can be as often as every 6-8 weeks."
I am afraid that by the time the heavy carrier branded models have modified the Samsung firmware and added all their bloatware, that firmware release will already be obsolete.
From #1.6 of 35 Galaxy S5 models - know yours???
"Whilst the carriers receive all the, "bugfix", updates from Samsung as other models, it is up to these individual carriers whether to spend the, not inconsiderable, time and money on incorporating all their modifications and releasing them. Consequently, these tend to receive far fewer, "bugfix", updates than most other models."

Screen pinning
