Verizon High Speed Internet
VHSI Deployment Update

 
Go Faster with Verizon
 

Verizon High Speed Internet, which uses digital subscriber line technology, is the company's most widely available form of broadband data service. More than 25 million households in parts of 24 states and the District of Columbia can order the service. Verizon High Speed Internet subscribers are not subject to bandwidth caps that some Internet service providers assess, so there's no penalty for heavy usage.

According to PC Magazine's 2008 readers' survey , Verizon High Speed Internet beat the average cable provider's score in reliability, the likelihood of a customer choosing an Internet service provider, as well as the associated costs and fees for the service.

Verizon High Speed Internet customers also receive access to an extensive portfolio of value-added services including:

  • Verizon Online Backup and Sharing , which provides 250 MB (megabytes) of free useful disaster-recovery support.
  • 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.

Consumers can obtain more information about Verizon's High Speed Internet service by visiting www.verizon.com/highspeed or by calling 1-800-483-4000.

How Does it Compare with Dial-Up?
 

Our lowest speed is up to 21 times faster than dial-up.* And dial-up is often more expensive than Verizon High Speed Internet and you may even have to pay for the phone call to dial in.

 
How Does it Compare with Cable?
 
Cable offers service over a shared cable line where multiple users may be connected to the same local cable line. Verizon High Speed Internet provides a dedicated connection to the Verizon Central office so you don't have to share your local access connection with other users and you will always have an open connection available to you.
