RUTLAND, VT — Less than two months after introducing 4G LTE service in Burlington and Northern Vermont, Verizon Wireless announced today it will bring the nation’s largest 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network to Bennington and Rutland, and 16 additional communities throughout Vermont, in the coming weeks.

Verizon Wireless customers with compatible 4G LTE smartphones, modems, tablets and mobile hotspots will be able to wirelessly surf the Web, stream music and video, and download files up to 10 times faster than customers on 3G.

When Verizon Wireless expands its 4G LTE network, it will also be available in the following communities across the Green Mountain State:

  • Arlington
  • Bennington
  • Brandon
  • Castleton
  • Clarendon
  • East Dorset
  • Killington
  • Manchester
  • Mendon
  • Peru
  • Pittsford
  • Poultney
  • Pownal
  • Rutland
  • Shaftsbury
  • Sunderland
  • West Rutland
  • Winhall

Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE network is currently available today in Burlington and more than 30 additional communities throughout Northern Vermont, as well as popular destinations including: 

“In the coming weeks our 4G LTE network will be available in more than 50 communities throughout Vermont,” said Christine Berberich, New England Regional President for Verizon Wireless. “Customers with compatible smartphones will certainly benefit from the exponential increases in data speeds, but residents with limited home broadband options may be the biggest beneficiaries of this expansion. With the launch of HomeFusion Broadband, Verizon Wireless now offers high-speed Internet service inside the home – connecting nearly two-dozen devices like laptops, e-readers and gaming consoles, to the ‘Net via our 4G LTE network.”

HomeFusion Broadband
Residents in the newly expanded 4G LTE coverage area in Vermont will also have access to HomeFusion Broadband, a new in-home, high-speed Internet service for consumers who want residential broadband with reliable data connectivity. Verizon Wireless’ high-speed 4G LTE network is delivered to a cylinder-shaped antenna, professionally installed outside a customer’s home, which then relays the signal to an in-home broadband router and allows the customer to connect up to four wired and more than 20 wireless (WiFi) devices in the household.

4G LTE Coverage and Speed
As of June 21, The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network is available to more than two-thirds of the U.S. population in 304 markets, including all six New England states, and offers more 4G LTE coverage than all other networks combined. 

In real-world, fully loaded network environments, Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE customers should experience average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink.

When customers travel outside of a 4G LTE coverage area, 4G LTE devices automatically connect to Verizon Wireless’ 3G network, enabling customers to stay connected from coast to coast.
