Verizon study: 42% of Americans say reliable wireless service makes travel more enjoyable
August 09 2022 - 10:49AM
Summer may be starting to wind down for some as kids head back to
school, but that isn’t stopping Americans from traveling. According
to a Verizon and Material+ survey, about 3 in 5 (58%) Americans are
planning to travel in the remainder of the year. This travel trend
is not just about vacation as more than one fifth (21%) of
Americans hope to work remotely, hybrid, on-the-go or from a
vacation destination in the second half of 2022. It’s no surprise
that for those planning on taking a road trip this summer, nearly
half (42%) say reliable service is essential to making travel more
enjoyable.
“As Americans continue to travel, we know that staying connected
has never been more important to family, friends and colleagues,”
said Kelley Kurtzman, SVP of Consumer Field Sales for Verizon
Consumer Group. “We take pride in being the network America relies
on, and we continue to improve it every single day for the
customers who depend on us whether they are vacationing, working
remotely, or both!”
Wireless customers know they can rely on Verizon. In the latest
J.D. Power 2022 U.S. Wireless Network Quality Performance Study,
Volume 2, Verizon was the Most Awarded Brand for Wireless Network
Quality, which marks an unprecedented 29th time in a row over 19
years that Verizon has won more awards in the Study for top network
quality.1 In the latest RootMetrics State of the Mobile Union
Report, Verizon earned national awards for overall network
performance, reliability, texting, and network accessibility.2
Verizon keeps enhancing its network every day, turbocharging its
5G Ultra Wideband network* by deploying 100 MHz of C-band spectrum
in many markets around the US – a significant increase from the 60
MHz it has deployed in 5G markets to date. It is also increasing
the capacity and performance of the core of its fiber network to
meet the growing data usage through all its services. Verizon also
continues to make its services available to more people in more
places, expanding 5G Home Internet and Verizon 5G Business Internet
to Madison, WI, Shreveport, LA, Manchester, NH, Atlanta, GA,
Richmond, VA, Scranton and Harrisburg, PA, just this summer.
