Yesterday, Verizon Wireless said that it has upgraded its entire CDMA network to enhanced Revision A technology.

Verizon's newly enhanced network will deliver speeds up to eight or nine times faster than it did before.

Broadband access customers with Rev. A-compatible devices can now expect average download speeds of 600 k per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second, and overall upload speeds of about 500 to 800 kbps.

Dick Lynch, executive v.p. and chief technical officer for Verizon Wireless said "earlier in 2007, Verizon Wireless announced it was making the nation's first wireless broadband network even better by significantly improving network speeds and performance."

Lynch added "in just the first two quarters of 2007, we made that pledge a well kept promise. When other wireless carriers still operate networks that don't allow customers to download music over-the-air or access e-mail at speeds faster than dial-up, Verizon Wireless is meeting the needs of more than 210 million people with wireless music downloads, much faster access to e-mail and true wireless broadband Internet browsing."
