While others may highlight specific metrics or short-term reports, Verizon's wireless network performance is a matter of consistent, long-term leadership. Our unmatched track record of 35 consecutive J.D. Power awards for Network Quality and consistently delivering the RootMetrics best 5G experience and RootScore Award for best overall network performance in more than 100 cities tested across the country demonstrate that customers can always count on Verizon to deliver.
