Verizon Reviewer's Comments

Verizon has some unique features, one of our favorites is the free wireless router and modem you receive when you sign a year-long contract. However, we're disappointed with the overall number of features offered by Verizon.

Feature Set:  

Verizon offers fairly basic features but does throw in some extras. They not only offer web space so you can design your own website-they take it a step further, and offer a website building tool and control pad. These are excellent features for those who have no experience in designing a webpage. We were also impressed with Verizon's 30-day money back guarantee.

Service Area:  

As one of the leading telecommunications companies in the nation Verizon covers a substantial amount of real estate with its coverage area.

If you do not use Verizon as your phone carrier, you will need to make the switch before you can have access to their DSL internet service.

Connection Speed:  

Verizon only offers a DSL connection which is not very competitive compared to some of the other Internet providers we reviewed. Though DSL is a fast connection, speeds are typically not as fast as high-speed cable.

Customer Service/Support:  

Verizon offers several ways to get in touch with their support team. They offer 24/7 phone support, FAQs and an email address. Their site provides a generous amount of information regarding different topics concerning their Internet service.

Summary:  

Verizon has a well known name and a reputation they've earned with years of quality products and good costumer service. Their DSL is competitive if you're OK with yearly contracts and sacrificing some features.
