Verizon Expands High Speed Internet In Lansing Area

More consumers and businesses across the Lansing area have or soon will have access to Verizon High Speed Internet.

Verizon technicians are installing high-speed Internet equipment, based on digital subscriber line technology, at nearly 40 company offices, each which serves between 100 and 4,900 phone lines.

When the expansion project is completed this summer, the broadband service will be available to more than 26,000 eligible customers in Bath, DeWitt, Fitchburg, Grand Ledge, Grass Lake, Laingsburg, Munith, Onondaga, Parma, Stockbridge, Wacousta, Webberville and Williamston.

"More residents and businesses across the Lansing area will be able to make the high-speed connections that are important to them," said Sean Majewski, Verizon's director of customer operations for Michigan. "Verizon recognizes that broadband access is a critical link for education, safety and information, and our significant investment here means that many more customers will have access to affordable and reliable high-speed Internet service."

Verizon High Speed Internet service is typically available to residents and businesses that are located within roughly three miles of the company's central switching offices.

Verizon High Speed Internet subscribers have access to an extensive collection of features and services, including online protection with Verizon Internet Security Suite; Verizon Enhanced Email; Verizon Premium Tech Support; Online gaming; free news from ABC News Now; free sports from ESPN360; and more.
