Verizon expanding broadband internet service in eight states
May 27, 2009
Verizon is continuing to expand the availability of its fastest tier of high speed internet (HSI) service to households and businesses in parts of eight states and Washington, DC, as the company works to reach 9.7 million households by the end of July, the company said.
The broadband internet service, which offers download speeds of up to 7.1 megabits per second (Mbps), will be available in parts of 21 states and the District of Columbia.
Verizon said its latest expansion will increase the availability of the service in parts of Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.
The up to 7.1 Mbps service is also offered in parts of California, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.
New customers who sign a two-year agreement for Verizon's stand-alone HSI service can lock in a rate of $37.99 per month, which is guaranteed for as long as they keep the service.
New customers who order a bundle of Verizon HSI service, Verizon Freedom unlimited local and long-distance calling services and DIRECTV service by June 20 can use a promotion that offers up to $150 back from Verizon in the form of a prepaid card, the company said.
