FOSTER CITY, CA — Residents and visitors in Foster City are now experiencing increased wireless coverage and capacity in the area, thanks to Verizon Wireless.

Verizon Wireless expanded its network with a new cell site located on Foster City Blvd. that will provide improved digital coverage and increased capacity within a mile of the site. "Verizon Wireless leads in customer loyalty* for a very good reason--customers know they can count on our network reliability," said Rich Garwood, regional president of Verizon Wireless. "During the last five years, we've invested nearly $4 billion in our wireless network throughout the state of California, so the company can stay ahead of the increasing demand for our products and services."

Nationwide, Verizon Wireless has invested $30 billion during the last six years. On average, that amount represents $5 billion per year since the company's inception, with an actual investment of $6 billion in 2005 alone.

The company's most reliable network claim is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country who inspired the "Can you hear me now? Good.®" national advertising campaign. 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 of the most frequently traveled roadways nationwide in specially equipped, company-owned quality test vehicles.

* Loyalty claims based upon publicly-available churn (customer turnover) figures.
