Homefusion broadband FROM VERIZON AVAILABLE IN TUPELO
TUPELO, Miss. (May 3, 2012) – HomeFusion Broadband℠, a service from Verizon Wireless that provides high-speed in-home Internet access by leveraging the power and speed of America’s largest 4G LTE network, will be available to customers in Tupelo, Mississippi, starting today.
HomeFusion Broadband offers a cost-effective, reliable alternative for data connectivity in Tupelo and surrounding areas.

How it works
