Verizon Launches Wireless Broadband In North Carolina Hot Spot!!!

More customers can now get High-Speed Wireless Internet and E-mail service and download music and video clips to handsets. Verizon Wireless customers in North Carolina's Outer Banks and Elizabeth City can now access e-mail, everyday corporate data, the Internet and more at faster speeds, download video and music directly to their wireless phones and play 3D games as the company rolls out its wireless high-speed broadband network.

The company’s wireless broadband network allows customers to access Broadband Access on their laptops, e-mail on their PDAs, and VCast Video and Music on their wireless phones.

The company’s flagship business data service, Broadband Access, provides average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second to 1.4 megabits and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps, which means customers can download a 1 Megabyte e-mail attachment - the equivalent of a small Power Point presentation or a large PDF file - in about eight seconds and upload, or send, the same-sized file in less than 13 seconds. Verizon Wireless' Broadband Access service allows customers to download files approximately 10 times faster than customers of other wireless service providers that use different broadly deployed network technologies.

The company’s high-speed network also enables its V-CAST multimedia services, offering customers the ability to download full song tracks, play cutting-edge D games and stream video clips straight to their cell phones. With content uploaded daily, customers can watch dozens of on-demand videos, including breaking news, weather, sports highlights, and the hottest entertainment clips.
