Shopping for a fast internet service at a great price? Be sure to learn what network it's on and the features that come with it.
Technology
Verizon High Speed Internet takes advantage of DSL ("Digital Subscriber Line") technology and a standard telephone line to connect you to the Internet. It divides your phone line’s bandwidth so Internet data is carried on the high- frequency band and voice communication on the low-frequency band. That means you can surf the Internet and talk on the phone at the same time.
Speed
A key advantage of DSL is that is wires you directly to a phone company local exchange, or central office. With that dedicated connection, you’ll always enjoy consistent speeds, no matter when you surf, day or night. Cable can’t make that claim!
And we’re constantly looking for ways to make our DSL faster—recently upgrading our Starter plan to 1 Mbps* download and our Turbo plan to 7.1 Mbps.
Reliability
And then there's the larger network beyond the local connection where reliability and security are critical. Verizon High Speed Internet is part of a growing network that over 100 million people around the world rely on every day.
Value
Finally, before choosing any Internet service, be sure to learn what comes with it.
- How many email accounts and how much storage will you get? How long will the service provider store your emails before deleting them? Will they allow you to access your email via the Web and your mobile phone?
- Is installation quick and easy? Can you do it yourself and avoid the cost of paying a technician?
- How’s the technical support? Can you call 24/7 and expect to get quick, easy-to-understand answers?
- What about fun, useful add-on services such as online entertainment (games, movies, music!), data backup and storage, equipment protection plans, and security and privacy software? Are they available, and if so, how much do they cost and do they require a contract?
Check out Verizon High Speed Internet! It has all of the above, and more--at a great price.

*"Mbps" means millions of bits per second, or "megabits" per second. It’s a measure of an Internet connection’s "bandwidth"—the total amount of data flowing through the connection in one second.
