Matt · #1 02-13-2007, 11:51 AM

Though Verizon Wireless just announced its 3G EV-DO Rev. A high-speed network launch two weeks ago, it made a major stride today in covering a larger footprint of the U.S. Verizon Wireless subscribers in the entire states of: Maine, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey and Mississippi now have access to the improved wireless network's downlink and uplink speeds. Along with those states, Verizon Wireless also boosted the networks in the Louisville and Lexington metro areas of Kentucky; the Nashville, Knoxville, Memphis, Chattanooga, Tri-Cities, Dyersburg, Union City and Tazewell metro areas in Tennessee; as well as Omaha, Neb., Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Topeka, Kan.

Welcome To Verizon Wireless

Sounds cool. Hopefully they'll work on improving their coverage here in PA also.

Where's the Rev. A here in Ohio?? ooh yea, and voice capacity up in Morrow County in the summer time??

it sucks trying to use your phone up there in the summer, i always get "Welcome to Verizon Wireless, we're sorry, all circuits are busy now, please try you're call again".. service is kick ass up there though!

I'm really wondering why they haven't touched the larger markets yet. What am I missing that might make these rollouts complicated and tedious to make larger markets come after smaller, less "profitable" markets?

I dont know, i know that here in columbus, Verizon data is very profitable, as i see a lot of people walking around with Q's, bb's, and pc cards on VZW.. i rarely see Cingular data devices..

i seen a Nextel BB today, i havent seen one of those for a long time!

Just strikes me as odd, usually its these types of markets to see product launches last yet here they are first to receive one of Verizon's biggest upgrades in a long time. There must be a missing element here that has them using the larger markets last. Well not last, but later down the line.

I have to completely agree.. unless mabye they are trying some trial-and-error in these less profitable places to make sure everything works alright.. idk though.

I sure hope that this comes to fruition across the rest of the US soon so other areas where Verizon has data strongholds can take full advantage of these faster speeds.
