In New York City, use your phone when, where, and how you want; Verizon delivers the best experience
June 12 2018 - 12:16PM
The nation’s most rigorous, independent scientific study has
recognized Verizon as the #1 wireless network in New York City for
the 5th consecutive time. According to a new report from
RootMetrics®, Verizon was again unbeaten in every category
including overall performance, reliability, data, speed, call and
text network performance. New York is one of 75 of 99 cities
tested this year in which Verizon was unbeaten – that’s better than
3 out of 4 cities tested.
And it’s not just in New York City where you can find an
unmatched experience. We are consistently recognized for providing
a superior network experience nationwide by a wide range of
independent third parties. 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 parties is nice,
but that’s not why we’ve built the nation’s best, most reliable
wireless 4G LTE network. We’ve built it so that you can be sure
you’ll be able to use your device when and how you want to.
Whatever matters most to you – whether it’s playing a game,
streaming music or a movie, sharing that perfect moment with your
friends, or connecting with loved ones – you can do it best with
Verizon.
How does Verizon Remain on Top for
Customers?
“New Yorkers deserve the best network,” said Verizon’s Northeast
Market President Kevin Zavaglia. “They stream, game and use social
media at home, in the office, and on the go. Our engineers work
every day to deliver the network they can count on. That, along
with our consistent network investment and deployment of the latest
technologies, is why we continue to have an overwhelming lead over
the competition across the vast majority of third party studies and
tests.”
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.
