What keeps me engaged? That’s easy: change. Wireless tech is, and always has been, a rapidly evolving and exciting industry. There are always new things to learn, problems to solve, and opportunities to seize. The key is to be willing to say “yeah, I can do it.” Having completed numerous assignments and six moves around the country, I’m back in California leading wireless operations for Verizon’s Pacific Market. I’m passionate about serving our market’s 18M customers and helping to develop the careers of our 6,000 employees. When I’m not traveling throughout my seven-state territory, I’m usually at the beach or in the mountains with my family. I absolutely love the healthy West Coast lifestyle. From outdoor activities to the food scene, the West Coast is the Best Coast. Show less Show less of Jonathan’s summary Articles 420 followers West Coast: Which wireless network is best for you? Jonathan’s profile photo Jonathan LeCompte Published on LinkedIn Summer is my favorite time of year. It’s the season of longer days, warmer nights, family vacations in Tahoe, music festivals and beach outings. It’s also the season of “best wireless network” awards and recognition from multiple sources, if the last few weeks are any indication. Just this week, RootMetrics® recognized Verizon as the #1 wireless network in the country for a record 10th consecutive time. According their latest National RootScore® Report, Verizon was again unbeaten in every category including overall network performance, reliability, data, speed, calls and texts. In addition to these national results, RootMetrics ranks Verizon the #1 network for Overall Network Performance and Reliability in California, Hawaii and Washington State. Additionally, our network was unbeaten in reliability in 111 of the 125 metro areas they tested. And, it’s not just RootMetrics’ results making news. We are consistently recognized for providing a superior network experience nationwide by a wide range of independent third-party testers. In recent weeks, in fact, Verizon received more awards than any other wireless provider in the J.D. Power Wireless Network Quality Performance Study (21st time in a row) and ranked highest in all six J.D. Power regions; our network was recognized as delivering the largest 4G LTE footprint “by far” on the U.S. Interstate System in the recent Connectivity on Interstates Report by P3; was recognized as best in video streaming based on analysis of data collected nationally by Nielsen; and, was found to deliver the best real-world download speeds by Tutela. While these results provide great insights, what really matters is your experience. We know you want a reliable, fast network connection you can count on. Whether it’s sharing experiences in the moment or reaching family and friends in the most chaotic of circumstances, such as the devastating wildfires we’ve endured in the West, we believe you deserve a network that will be there for you. The best reliability, coverage, speed and streaming experience. Which network is best for you? The answer is clear: it’s Verizon.
