Verizon Wireless Earns Top Ranking for Overall Network Performance in Georgia
Press release from the issuing company
Wednesday, February 11th, 2015
Verizon Wireless was the overwhelming network performance leader in the rankings of four national wireless providers in the United States in the third National RootScore Report, issued today by Seattle-based RootMetrics®.
Among the four major wireless carriers, Verizon won the Overall RootScore award in the state of Georgia for the third consecutive time, and also earned top scores in Reliability, Speed, Data Performance, and Call Performance in Georgia.
RootMetrics, an independent mobile analytics firm, drove thousands of miles throughout Georgia, as well as testing many indoor locations. The company said its national study was designed to portray the consumer mobile network performance experience at a national and state level, beyond their metro-specific reports. Each RootScore is calculated from a combination of tests that are weighted to reflect the impact that a consumer would experience. Scores were based on RootMetrics testing performed in the second half of 2014 (July-December). The company ranked the four major U.S. wireless providers in six network performance categories: Overall, Reliability, Speed, Data, Call and Text.
"These results are further confirmation of our continued commitment to deliver the best network experience to our customers. The consistent reliability, quality and performance of our network provide a solid foundation for exciting products and services. We will continue to innovate across the state of Georgia to stay on top of growing demand for wireless services." - Jonathan LeCompte, president for the Georgia/Alabama Region of Verizon Wireless.
In Georgia, the company has rolled out its latest XLTE network technology in several markets. XLTE utilizes Verizon’s AWS (Advanced Wireless Services) spectrum to double 4G LTE network capacity. Greater capacity means more customers at once can send photos, download videos, surf the internet and more at peak speeds on their smartphones, tablets and other devices.
