The Most Reliable US Wireless Network

The profitable wireless phone business has given rise to highly successful wireless carriers and networks. The lucrative business has produced intense competition among this companies and has resulted in a vast collection of quality cell phones, plans and other merchandise. Among these wireless carriers, Verizon Wireless claims to offer the most reliable service on the best wireless voice and data network of the United States.

I have to say that it is a bold claim since there are other excellent wireless companies who are also offering excellent service. Verison Wireless claim of being the most reliable network is actually based on network studies. These studies were performed by real-life test men and test women who inspired the company's national advertising campaign.

Every year, these engineers conduct more than 3 million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' and other national wireless carriers' networks. These specialists travel in specially equipped, company-owned quality test vehicles on nearly 1 million miles of the most frequently traveled roadways nationwide in order to collect data for the test.

The tests are done primarily to ensure that the network meets high call quality standards. To do this, each voice call is tabulated on computers inside the test vehicle as either a successful call, an ineffective attempt or a lost call. The same method applies for file downloads, uploads and web browsing. The tests conducted are classified based upon the ability to establish data session and the ability to complete the task. The engineers download the test results onto computers at Verizon's network test centers for compilation and analysis once all the test vehicles complete their routes.


The results of the tests were favorable for Verizon Wireless. It consistently showed that in major metropolitan centers and some remote areas the rate of ineffective attempts for the Verizon Wireless national network is lower than any other national carrier. Voice calls that connect on the Verizon's network are more likely to stay connected for the duration of the call according to the test results.

The data network reliability test results also establish that Verizon Wireless has the nation's most reliable wireless broadband network. Verizon Wireless' ability to set up data sessions and complete large file downloads and uploads at a greater rate of success than its national competitors is one of the strongest proof to this claim.
