In Richmond, when it comes to using your phone when, where, and how you want to, who delivers the best experience?

Richmond is among the 101 metro areas where Verizon is unbeaten as ranked by an independent tester

RICHMOND, Va., July 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The nation’s most rigorous, independent scientific study has recognized Verizon as the #1 wireless network in Richmond. According to the latest results from RootMetrics®, Verizon is ranked #1 in overall performance, reliability, data, speed, and call quality. Richmond is among the 101 of 125 cities RootMetrics tested this year in which Verizon was unbeaten – that’s better than 8 out of 10 cities tested.

And it’s not just in Richmond (or Dallas, 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. We’ve built it so that you can be sure you’ll be able to use your device when and how you want to. Whatever matters most to you – whether it’s playing a game, streaming music or a movie, sharing that perfect moment with your friends, or connecting with loved ones – you can do it best with Verizon.

How does Verizon Remain on Top for Customers?

You can now 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.
