Bernville, Pa., Area Consumers Can Get Verizon High Speed Internet at Price Comparable to Many Dial-Up Plans

Consumers and businesses in parts of Bernville, Mohrsville and Hamburg now have access to Verizon High Speed Internet, allowing them to quickly download movies, share photos or video with friends and family, and create their own Internet content.

“Verizon is enabling more rural residents across Pennsylvania to make the high-speed connections that are important to them,” said William B. Petersen, president of Verizon Pennsylvania. “Verizon’s ongoing, significant investment in Pennsylvania means that many more rural communities like these have access to affordable and reliable high-speed Internet service.”

Verizon deployed High Speed Internet service to Bernville, Mohrsville and Hamburg through Pennsylvania’s bona fide retail request (BFRR) program, which allows members of a community to aggregate demand and petition their local telephone company to deploy broadband service within a year.

Verizon has invested nearly $10 billion in its Pennsylvania network over the last decade. Verizon High Speed Internet service now is available in 89 percent of the company’s call-switching centers across the commonwealth.
