Verizon expands high-speed internet across Delaware
More Delaware residents and businesses now get access to Fios, 5G Home Internet, and 5G Business Internet
NEW YORK, March 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verizon is bringing more choice for home and business internet to customers in Delaware as it deploys high-speed broadband internet service across the state. Nearly 2,000 Delaware locations in Camden, Dover, Smyrna, Bridgeville and Ocean View will have access to high-speed internet as part of one of the biggest network upgrades in our history.
“Verizon is focused on delivering broadband internet service and the major economic benefits that it can provide,” said Doug Sullivan, Vice President of Wireline Network Operations-Mid-Atlantic North Region for Verizon. “From Fios to 5G Home, more people than ever across the First State have access to high-speed internet to fuel how they work, live and play.”
The project is being done with over $6 million in funding provided as part of the American Rescue Plan (ARP).
Additionally, Delaware residents get even more choices as Verizon is expanding its wireless and internet services, powered by 5G Ultra Wideband, in parts of Rehoboth and Dewey Beach.
