Steamboat Springs and Vail
DENVER, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for ski season, wireless
customers in Colorado will enjoy improved wireless coverage in several
highly traveled ski areas thanks to new Verizon Wireless cell sites. The
network enhancements will benefit users in:
-- Aspen - west end of town and Aspen Highlands
-- Loveland - between Monroe Avenue and 33rd Street; and northeast
Loveland
-- Purgatory - along Highway 550 north of Durango and south of Silverton;
and the Purgatory Ski Resort

"Verizon Wireless leads in customer loyalty* for a very good reason --
customers know they can count on our network reliability," said Jeff Mango,
regional president of Verizon Wireless. "We've invested more than $423
million in our wireless network in Colorado over the past four years to
stay ahead of the growth in demand for our products and services."
The company invested $30 billion in the last six years -- $5 billion on
average every year since the company was formed -- to increase the coverage
and capacity of its national network and to add new services.
The company's "most reliable network" claim is based on network studies
performed by the real-life test men and test women throughout the country
who inspire Verizon Wireless' national advertising. These engineers conduct
more than 750,000 voice call attempts and 1.4 million data tests quarterly
on Verizon Wireless' and other national carriers' networks while traveling
over 225,000 miles quarterly in specially equipped, company-owned test
vehicles.
* Loyalty claims based upon publicly available churn (customer
turnover) figures.
