Verizon's network unbeaten in top college towns

Whether you're headed to college for the first time or have your sights set on graduation, reliable wireless connectivity is critical  for students and their families. But Verizon is the network college towns rely on – with the research to back it up.

According to a count of cities tested by RootMetrics in the first half of 2022, Verizon is unbeaten in overall network performance in metro markets that are home to over 140 Division I Colleges and Universities.1

Additionally, Verizon delivers unbeatable network performance in the cities with the most college students in the United States, covering more than 4 million students – about one out of every four college students – at over 200 colleges including those in NY, MA, FL, TX, DC and many more.1,2

“Students rely on wireless network connectivity for school work, social media and keeping in touch with loved ones,” said Kyle Malady, EVP Global Network & Technology, Verizon. “For parents, network reliability is vital to knowing their children are safe and connected as they are away from home. That peace of mind is invaluable.”

The outstanding network performance is matched with amazing offers. Eligible college students can save $10 with one line or $25 with two lines on premium 5G mobile plans, plus taxes and fees. Alternatively, eligible college students can get Fios, Verizon’s award-winning, blazing fast fiber optic network, starting at just $20 per month, plus taxes and fees, with Auto Pay and select 5G mobile plans.3

Verizon remains the standard for network reliability, providing customers the Most Reliable 5G experience in the U.S. for the third consecutive year, according to RootMetrics’ State of 5G in the U.S. report.4 This comes on the heels of Verizon winning best overall network for the 18th time in a row in RootMetrics’ US State of the Mobile Union report.5
