Verizon Wireless Broadband

Verizon Wireless broadband service is called BroadbandAccess, available in 16 cities and 8 airports.

The broadband wireless service is based on CDMA technology and makes typical transmission speeds of 300-500 kbps possible, with theoretical maximum speed at 2Mbps.

You can combine the BroadbandAccess service with NationalAccess data service that has transmission speeds up to 144kbps.
