14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless has just expanded its LTE network to more markets in the United States, the latest of which is Columbus, Mississippi.
The carrier is offering users in the area the possibility to take advantage of the reliability and speed that its 4G network has to offer to them.
The wireless carrier notes that users on its airwaves will benefit from the fastest wireless data experience when it comes to streaming videos, sharing music and photos, downloading files, or surfing the web.
“We are proud to offer our customer even more 4G LTE network coverage in Mississippi, and with the addition of Columbus, Verizon now offers high-speed wireless communications to customers in three of north Mississippi’s largest cities,” said Dean Taylor, president of the South Central Region of Verizon Wireless.
“With additional enhancements and advanced technologies, we will continue to enable individuals, business, government and schools to connect with the speed that only 4G LTE can provide.”
Today, Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE network was made available for uses in the Tupelo and Starkville areas as well.
The network can deliver download speeds of around 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps), as well as upload speeds of around 2 to 5 Mbps.
When moving outside the LTE area, users will benefit from 3G connectivity, which will enable them to remain on Verizon Wireless network from coast to coast.
“Verizon Wireless invested $7.5 million in 2011 to improve and expand wireless broadband access and voice service in Mississippi,” the wireless carrier notes.
“Almost 92 percent of the population in northern Mississippi is currently covered by Verizon’s 3G network, the largest, most reliable high-speed network for voice and data services in the country.”
The carrier also explains that it is investing around $6 billion each year to improve the coverage and capacity of its network.
“Ranked highest in five out of six U.S. regions according to J.D. Power and Associates’ latest report, Verizon Wireless receives the fewest reports of dropped calls, initial connections, transmission failures and late text messages than any other wireless provider,” the company concluded.
