Verizon Wireless Broadband Review Summary

Internet service is faster with broadband and Verizon Wireless Broadband combines the speed of broadband with the Verizon name, which is one of the best- known names in communications today. But is the service up to speed? Reviewers say both yes and no. Some point out the ability to connect to the internet from virtually anyplace and the fast connection speed as two reasons to select Verizon Wireless Broadband and one reviewer sums it up by saying “Good, Reliable Internet Service Almost Anywhere”. Others, however, feel that Verizon Wireless Broadband isn’t worthy of the Verizon name, like one customer who says it “Works Where I Live in the Country- Not Great Though”. Customer service is the main complaint and it can sometimes result in no internet connection for a good span of time while waiting to get through. Put the good and bad together and you have an average Internet Service Provider that may not make all customers happy.

OK so here's the deal, my husband is a beekeeper so we travel between ND and TX. While in ND we have fiber optics at the fastest speed possible and it's absolutely wonderful but when we get down to TX we are stuck with the slowest dial-up...28(whatchamacallits) if we are lucky!

This year I convinced my...

When I was living in an apartment, DSL was available.  When I moved to my house, only dial up was available.  It was extremely difficult to go from fast to extremely slow.  I lived in my house for 3 years before DSL became available in my area.  I was so excited.  Then I discovered that I live 1,000...

Out where I live there isn't DSL available. We were on dial up but was tired of the slowness. I bought a laptop and figured I'd get broadband from Verizon since we have our phones there too. The price kinda shocked me and the 2 year contract was worse. It works great in the city or anywhere you have atleast 3 bars. Where I live I'm lucky to get one bar. On a good day I get spotty 2 bars. The signal constantly goes in and out between just a flashy dot and one bar. While I don't have great signal at my house it is faster than dial up still. I can't watch any videos because signal isn't great out... read full review »

Remember a few years back when Wi-Fi was starting to roll-out?  The way they were talking, Wi-Fi was going to go from isolated oases (hot spots) of wireless connectivity to virtually coast to coast ubiquitous connectivity in as little as 5 years.  The idea that you could connect to the Internet from virtually anywhere was sweet.

Five Years Later

Sure, if you're waiting for your JetBlue flight you'll find a connection.  Or, if you're enjoying your designer coffee-like beverage at Starbucks, likewise.  And, the hotel you're going to check into probably offers Wi-Fi.  But, we're a long way away...

The Verizon Wireless Broadband is a good way to have internet access almost anywhere you can get a mobile phone signal.  It is faster in urban areas, but I have been able to check e-mail in some fairly remote areas. The speed, condiered broadband, is not as fast as Cable or DSL, but a big jump from dialup.
