ROCHESTER, NY — Verizon Wireless announced today it has introduced BroadbandAccess, its wireless broadband service, in Chautauqua and Otsego Counties for the first time and expanded its coverage in Cattaraugus and Delaware Counties, giving local customers access to the latest high-speed business and entertainment services on their wireless phones, laptop and desktop computers, and PDAs.

“Verizon Wireless is focused on providing the best customer experience, and a major part of that commitment is making sure we continue to have the best, most reliable network,” said Marquett Smith, president of Verizon Wireless’ Upstate New York region. “Instead of merely offering wireless broadband service in metropolitan areas or near major airports, we’re committed to giving our customers the ability to access the Internet, corporate data and premium entertainment content at broadband speeds throughout Upstate New York.”

Verizon Wireless’ wireless broadband network now stretches across Western, Central and Eastern New York from Lake Erie to the Hudson River Valley, including the cities of Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica/Rome, Albany, Jamestown, Elmira/Corning, Ithaca, Binghamton, Watertown, Canton/Potsdam, Glens Falls, Poughkeepsie and into the New York City area, as well as hundreds of towns and villages across the state.

The entire Upstate New York EV-DO network is now Rev. A capable, meaning customers can enjoy even faster speeds than before when both downloading and sending large files on the company’s broadband data network.

BroadbandAccess provides average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps, translating to being able to download a 1 Megabyte e-mail attachment – the equivalent of a small PowerPoint® presentation or a large PDF file – in about eight seconds and upload the same-sized file in less than 13 seconds.

“Our enhanced BroadbandAccess service gives our customers three key advantages in wireless communication: speed, mobility and security,” said Smith. “With these advantages comes an increase in productivity and bottom-line business benefits.”

The company’s high-speed network also enables its V CAST multimedia services, offering customers the ability to download full-song tracks from V CAST Music with Rhapsody so customers can access a library of more than 5 million tunes, play cutting-edge 3D games and stream video clips straight to their handsets with top transmission speeds. With content updated daily, customers can watch dozens of on-demand videos, including breaking news, weather, sports highlights and the hottest entertainment clips.

BroadbandAccess is available for $39.99 monthly access for 50 MB of data usage, or $59.99 monthly access for 5 GB of data usage with a new one- or two-year agreement. BroadbandAccess service also is available as an integrated option on select notebook and laptop computers.
