A new cell site has been added in Killingly, CT as Verizon Wireless continue to expand its 3G wireless network, with an increase in both 3G and wireless voice coverage along State Route 695 between the Rhode Island border and the I-395 being provided by this new cell site.
As the first provider to offer 3G connection speeds, Verizon Wireless currently has the most reliable and the largest coverage area of any 3G network in America, which provides any customers with either a Smartphone or notebook computer the ability to access the Internet much faster due to the shorter loading times for web pages, video conference with contacts, play and downloading 3G games, rapid file sharing, download and play music fast, send mails with attachments and watch streaming videos.
Richard Enright, the director for Network System Performance for Verizon Wireless said “Verizon Wireless’ 3G network coverage across New England is unparalleled. We’ve invested billions of dollars into New England believing that even the most sophisticated cell phone is only as good as the network it runs on. Our continued aggressive network investments provide customers with a 3G network advantage at home and on vacation.”
In order to increase data and wireless coverage of it national network and to add V Cast, Mobile Broadband and other 3G services the company has invested over $50 billion since it began. Over the last nine years the company has invested $2.4 billion, which include $240 million just in 2008, regionally into its New England network. The carrier offers the most reliable and largest wireless network in the United States, with 3G wireless data connectivity provided in New England by the Verizon Wireless cell sites.
Customers of Verizon Wireless can connect over its 3G high speed wireless network, which enables them to download files, browse the internet and access the mail, at an average speed of between 600Kbps to 1.4Mbps with a 500 – 800Kbps upload speed. At these speeds it would take eight seconds to download and 13 seconds to upload a single one megabyte mail attachment, which equates to a large PDF file or a small PowerPoint presentation.
