DISH and nTelos Wireless NTLS are now offering a new
high-speed Internet service to residents in Virginia including parts of
Charlottesville, Waynesboro, Staunton, Harrisonburg and Roanoke. As previously
announced, the companies began with a pilot program and are now expanding the
service availability.
"DISH and nTelos Wireless are bringing a new high-speed Internet option for
consumers in central and western Virginia, with 4G LTE speeds comparable to
other residential broadband services, but available in more areas, and at a
better price when bundled with our award-winning TV service," said David
Zufall, DISH vice president of wireless. "Our offer delivers high-speed
Internet with no contract, free installation and no equipment to buy."
Customers can receive the LTE signal using a BandRich ruggedized outdoor
router with built-in high-gain antennas to receive the 2.5 GHz LTE signal from
nTelos Wireless network sites. Customers will experience download speeds of up
to 10Mbps. DISH-nTelos Wireless high-speed Internet is available for $29.99
per month when bundled with a qualifying package of DISH's award-winning
satellite TV service.
"Results from the first phase of the program were encouraging," said James A.
Hyde, CEO of NTELOS Holdings Corp. "We are excited to begin this important
next step to the original trial by adding customers in select markets, which
will allow both companies to further evaluate the viability of a full
commercial launch. The early success we've seen in the pilot program is a
testament to our focus on driving growth by finding innovative ways to
leverage our unique set of assets and expand our product offerings through
strategic partnerships."
"DISH has a force of professional technicians who can install high-gain
outdoor antennas just like they install outdoor satellite dishes," said
Zufall. "The result is a reliable, high-speed Internet service that allows for
streaming, web surfing, gaming and email, for many homes that to date had much
slower speeds or no Internet at all available to them."
