Verizon continues to upgrade Boise's best network
15 Mars 2023 - 2:00PM
Customers and visitors to Boise, ID have the best experience when
using the Verizon network, according to the nation’s most rigorous
scientific testing company RootMetrics®. In the most recent test
measuring performance of major wireless carriers throughout Boise,
Verizon not only wins for overall network performance, but is
unbeaten in every single category including accessibility, speed,
reliability and performance in texts and calls. Today’s results
show remarkable speeds for Verizon customers in Boise with
Verizon’s median download speed increasing 284% in the market and
Verizon’s median upload speeds increasing by 42% since last year*.
"Today’s world calls for faster speeds, ultra secure connections
and improved coverage in more places. We’re dedicated to bringing
the best and latest technologies to local communities, and to
keeping our customers connected through 5G,” said Phillip French,
Vice President of Engineering and Operations for Verizon. “Our team
has been working hard in Boise to deliver these results, and we are
not slowing down.”
Network enhancements in Boise
These top marks are a result of months of deploying new
enhancements in the network for those who live in and visit the
Boise area. Verizon recently deployed new macro and small cell
sites that are providing service in west downtown and the
Crossroads Mall in Meridian.
Verizon has been actively upgrading cell sites to 5G Ultra
Wideband technology and now approximately 60% of the network in
Boise has 5G Ultra Wideband service using Verizon’s recently
acquired C-band spectrum. Boise is currently using a full 100 MHz
of C-band spectrum almost doubling the spectrum available for 5G
Ultra Wideband available in other parts of the country. That
additional bandwidth available to customer in Boise will turbo
charge the service, offering significantly higher speeds, much
greater capacity to accommodate more customers and more robust
services.
In addition to adding more 5G service using C-band spectrum,
Verizon is also deploying 5G service using Millimeter Wave
(mmWave), its premium, high band spectrum which allows for
extremely fast speeds and massive capacity. Verizon has recently
added its premium mmWave spectrum to cell sites in Boise from
downtown to Meridian as well as throughout BSU Extra Mile
Arena.
Lastly, the addition of 5G service and the many additional
wireless solutions allow far more data to travel on the wireless
network in Boise. That exponential increase in data carried into
and out of the cell sites serving the community requires upgraded
fiber optic cable links. Fiber optic cables are used to move data
between cell sites and connect those sites to the rest of the
network. Verizon has increased the capacity on the fiber
connections in many cell sites in the Dayton area so they can carry
10 times the amount of data.
Services from the network customers rely on
For customers in Boise, the additional coverage and capacity
means more customers now have access not only to reliable, fast
mobile service, but also Verizon Home Internet service, a different
kind of home internet with no data caps. It’s ideal for anyone who
wants super fast connectivity to stream, game or even work
remotely. Verizon Home Internet is reliable and fast enough to
power home connected devices: smart TVs, tablets, phones, gaming
consoles and more. Plans start at just $25 per month with AutoPay
and a select 5G mobile plan – all without extra fees, equipment
charges, annual contracts or data caps.** Go to verizon.com/home

Additionally, through Verizon Frontline, the advanced network

first responders to meet their unique and evolving needs, public
safety agencies in the Boise area will also be able to experience
the benefits of these network enhancements. To learn more about
