Verizon has announced that, starting immediately, consumers will be able to sign up for Verizon's High Speed Internet service at a price that is guaranteed for life. New Verizon customers who subscribe to a two-year plan can be sure of the price for as long as they keep the service. The Verizon HSI Price Guarantee offer can be ordered through February 21 and is based on available Internet download speeds.

Verizon Guaranteed Price for Two-Year High Speed Internet Plans

"Reliable, value-oriented Internet access service will continue to be extremely important to consumers in 2009," said Susan Retta, Verizon vice president for consumer product management. "In this challenging economy, consumers need broadband more than ever to stay connected, seek good deals online, start new home-based businesses, or even search for jobs. Verizon's DSL-based High Speed Internet service remains a very popular solution for consumers. We already provide a great product, in a range of speeds, with great performance and reliability, and now we have added the certainty that pricing will not increase."

Verizon Expands Reach of High Speed Internet Service

In addition to the new price guarantees, Verizon has expanded the availability of its superfast high-speed up-to-7.1 Mbps Internet service to meet the growing needs of consumers who want more broadband speed. Launched early in 2008 to an initial 400,000 homes, the up-to-7.1 Mbps service now reaches more than 9 million homes nationwide. The service allows Internet users to download information at speeds 125 times faster than a 56 kilobits-per-second (Kbps) dial-up modem.

Verizon High Speed Internet Value-Added Services

Verizon High Speed Internet provides customers with a dedicated broadband connection from the Verizon central switching office to their home. Verizon High Speed Internet subscribers have access to an extensive collection of value-added services, including 250 MB (megabytes) of free online backup and sharing that provides useful disaster recovery support. The popular Verizon Internet Security Suite provides comprehensive online protection from spyware and viruses and includes a firewall, parental control, a pop-up-blocker, and privacy manager software to help keep customers safe from hackers and phishing attacks.

In addition, customers can subscribe to an array of device protection plans such as Protection Pak Enhanced that in cases of a malfunction cover the repair or replacement of all eligible computers, telephones, and TVs in a customer's home, regardless of the device's place of purchase or the age.
