Verizon continues to upgrade Antelope Valley's best network
March 09 2023 - 9:30AM
Customers and visitors to Antelope Valley, CA have the best
experience when using the Verizon network, according to the
nation’s most rigorous scientific testing company Rootmetrics®. In
the most recent test measuring performance of major wireless
carriers throughout Antelope Valley, Verizon not only wins for
overall network performance, but is unbeaten in every single
category measured including accessibility, speed, reliability and
performance in texts and calls. Today’s results show remarkable
speeds for Verizon customers in Antelope Valley with Verizon’s
median download speed increasing 30% in the market since last
year*.
“Whether working remotely, connecting with friends and family
while visiting the annual Poppy Reserves in the spring, or
connecting their smart homes through one of our home internet
products, customers have come to expect a higher level of
reliability and performance from their mobile network,” said
Phillip French, Vice President of Engineering and Operations for
Verizon. “We work every day to ensure we deliver that for
them.”
Network enhancements in Antelope Valley
These top marks are a result of months of deploying new
enhancements in the network for those who live in and visit the
Antelope Valley area. Network engineers have been busy deploying 5G
Ultra Wideband service using Verizon’s recently acquired C-band
spectrum, designed to provide wide coverage for 5G service, and now
cover 55% of the population in Antelope Valley.
With the addition of 5G service there is a commensurate
exponential increase in the amount of data customers use. That
increase in data carried into and out of the cell sites serving the
community requires upgraded fiber optic cable links. Fiber optic
cables are used to move data between cell sites and connect those
sites to the rest of the network. Verizon has increased the
capacity on the fiber connections in many cell sites in the
Antelope Valley area so they can carry 10 times the amount of
data.
Services from the network customers rely on
For customers in Antelope Valley, the additional coverage and
capacity means more customers now have access not only to reliable,
fast mobile service, but also Verizon Home Internet service, a
different kind of home internet with no data caps. It’s ideal for
anyone who wants super fast connectivity to stream, game or even
work remotely. Verizon Home Internet is reliable and fast enough to
power home connected devices: smart TVs, tablets, phones, gaming
consoles and more. Plans start at just $25 per month with AutoPay
and a select 5G mobile plan – all without extra fees, equipment
charges, annual contracts or data caps.** Go to verizon.com/home

Additionally, through Verizon Frontline, the advanced network
and technology developed over three decades of partnership with
first responders to meet their unique and evolving needs, public
safety agencies in the Antelope Valley area will also be able to
experience the benefits of these network enhancements. To learn
