1Velocity Top ISP in Nevada

1Velocity debuted this week on SpeedTest.net’s list of the Top 10 ISPs in Nevada at number one. We have average download and upload speeds twice as fast as any other carrier in the state. We are also the top-ranked ISP by SpeedTest.net users.

SpeedTest.net is a third-party website for testing Internet connection speeds and rating ISPs. After users test their Internet connection speed, they are also asked to rate their ISP and can compare their results to other carriers in the area.

1Velocity is a Nevada-based metro Ethernet carrier pioneering the use of millimeter-wave wireless fiber for Ethernet private line service and Internet Access currently serving businesses, governments, and other carriers in Las Vegas and Reno.

Earlier this year, one of our customers alerted us to the fact that 1Velocity was ranked number one in Las Vegas. Now, with customers in both Las Vegas and Reno, we have been added to the list for all of Nevada and have debuted at number one.

In large part, this reflects 1Velocity’s focus on serving larger businesses, government agencies, and other telecommunications carriers. Our customers are some of the largest bandwidth users in the state, and they demand big, fast connections. We were especially honored to see that SpeedTest.net users rated us so highly.

Thank you to our customers for rating us as the best ISP in Nevada.
