BASKING RIDGE, N.J.,
Feb. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
WHAT
You'll be among the first to see a variety of real-time wireless
network stats during SuperBowl 50 at Levi's Stadium that tell a
unique story about football's biggest contest and cultural
phenomenon, from the one-handed catch that becomes an instant
internet meme to the half-time show's most dazzling moment.
It's like having a coach's chart of big plays before they
happen.
At last year's big game, Verizon customers racked up more than 4
terabytes of data.
That's a powerful blitz of wireless connections – tweets, texts,
pics, posts, etc. – each minute.
The biggest spikes in 2015 hit during the first score and the
halftime show.

Sunday, February 7, 2:30 to 9:30 p.m.
