- VERIZON WIRELESS CELLULAR COVERAGE AS OF SEPTEMBER 2006. HOW DOES YOUR CURRENT WIRELESS CARRIER COMPARE ? Verizon Wireless is committed to offering customers the most reliable service on the nation's best wireless voice and data network. Nation's Most Reliable Network Verizon Wireless has invested $30 billion since the company was formed in 2000 to build, maintain and expand its high-quality network nationwide. Verizon Wireless currently serves 54.8 million customers. ‘Test Man' Isn't Just a Commercial Character The company's 'most reliable network' claim is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women who inspired the company's national advertising campaign. These engineers conduct more than 750,000 voice call attempts and more than 4 million data tests quarterly on Verizon Wireless' and other national wireless carriers' networks while traveling approximately 220,000 miles of the most frequently traveled roadways nationwide in specially equipped, company-owned quality test vehicles. Ensuring the Network Meets High Call Quality Standards Each voice call is tabulated on computers inside the test vehicle as either a successful call, an ineffective attempt (a call that is blocked) or a lost call (a call that connects, but drops). Data testing includes file downloads, uploads and web browsing; each test is likewise scored based upon the ability to establish the data session and the ability to complete the task. After the test vehicles complete their routes, the network teams download the test results onto computers at our network test centers for compilation and analysis. The Results The voice network reliability test results have consistently shown that the number of ineffective attempts for the Verizon Wireless national network, in major metropolitan centers and some remote areas, is lower than any other national carrier. The test results also indicate that voice calls that connect on the Verizon Wireless network are more likely to stay connected for the duration of the call. Similarly, the data network reliability test results establish that Verizon Wireless has the nation's most reliable wireless data network, successfully setting up a higher percentage of data sessions, and successfully completing a higher percentage of tasks during those sessions.
