In Kansas City, when it comes to using your devices when, where, and how you want, Verizon delivers the best experience
June 21 2018 - 2:15PM
The nation’s most rigorous, independent scientific study has
recognized Verizon as the #1 wireless network in Kansas City,
Missouri. According to a new report from RootMetrics®, for the 2nd
time in a row, Verizon was undefeated in every category including
overall performance, reliability, data, speed, call and text
network performance. Kansas City is one of 91 of 115 cities
tested this year in which Verizon was unbeaten – that’s nearly 8
out of 10 cities.
Consistently Recognized By Many Independent Third
Parties
It’s not just in Kansas City (or Los Angeles, New York, Boston,
Chicago or Washington, DC) where you can find an unmatched
experience. Nationwide, we are consistently recognized for
providing a superior network experience by a wide range of
independent third parties. Just this year, Verizon was ranked #1 in
the nation for a record ninth time in a row by RootMetrics®*;
received more awards than any other wireless provider in the J.D.
Power Wireless Network Quality Performance Study** (20th time in a
row); was recognized as best in streaming***; and in April was
found to deliver the best real-world download speeds by Tutela, a
widely installed network testing software, with over 250 million
devices globally.****
What does this mean for you?
Having lots of awards from multiple independent testers is nice,
but that’s not why we’ve built the nation’s best, most reliable
wireless 4G LTE network, the largest in the country covering 2.5
million square miles. We’ve built it so you’ll be able to use your
device when and how you want to. Whatever matters most to you –
whether it’s streaming music or a movie, watching your favorite pro
football team during preseason on Yahoo! Sports, sharing that
perfect moment with your friends, or connecting with loved ones to
make sure they are OK after extreme weather or other emergency –
you can do it best with Verizon.
“Our engineers in Kansas City work every day to deliver the
network you can count on,” said Verizon’s North Central Market
President Wendy Taccetta. “That, along with our consistent network
investment and deployment of the latest technologies, is why we
continue to have an overwhelming lead over the competition across
the vast majority of third party studies and tests.”
We are committed to delivering the best customer experience not
just on our network, but on the plans you choose as well. Now you
can mix and match different Verizon unlimited plans – all on the
same, easy-to-manage account. Every person in your family gets the
plan they need, without paying for things they don’t -- all on the
network they deserve.
2018 promises even more exciting technology firsts for our
customers, including our next generation 5G network. To learn more

doing, check out these videos on why we’re Best For a Good
Reason.
