Consistently Recognized By Many Independent Third
Parties
It’s not just in the Northeast where you can find an unmatched
experience. Nationwide, we continue to have an overwhelming lead
over the competition across the vast majority of third party tests,
due to our consistent network investment and deployment of the
latest technologies. Just this year, Verizon was ranked #1 in the
nation for a record ninth time in a row by RootMetrics®*; received
more awards than any other wireless provider in the J.D. Power
Wireless Network Quality Performance Study** (20th time in a row);
was recognized as best in streaming***; and in April was found to
deliver the best real-world download speeds by Tutela, a widely
installed network testing software, with over 250 million devices
globally.****
What does this mean for you?
Having lots of awards from multiple independent testers is nice,
but that’s not why we’ve built the nation’s best, most reliable
wireless 4G LTE network, the largest in the country covering 2.5
million square miles.
“Whether you’re heading to Brooklyn this week for the 2018 NBA
Draft, hitting the Freedom Trail in Boston, or celebrating
Independence Day in Washington, DC, you want a network you can
count on,” said Verizon’s Northeast Market President Kevin
Zavaglia. “We’ve built our network so you’ll be able to use your
devices when and how you want. Whatever matters most to you –
whether it’s streaming music or a movie, watching your favorite
team on Yahoo! Sports, sharing that perfect moment with your
friends, or connecting with loved ones – you can do it best with
Verizon.”
We are committed to delivering the best customer experience not
just on our network, but on the plans you choose as well. Now you
can mix and match different Verizon unlimited plans – all on the
same, easy-to-manage account. Every person in your family gets the
plan they need, without paying for things they don’t -- all on the
network they deserve.
2018 promises even more exciting technology firsts for our
customers, including our next generation 5G network. To learn more
about some of those improvements and the work our engineers are
doing, check out these videos on why we’re Best For a Good
Reason.
