NEW YORK, June 22 (UPI) -- Wal-Mart customers in the United States will be able to shop for Verizon's DSL at its stores.
A total of 549 Wal-Marts in 24 states will be set up with connection centers that will allow shoppers to see if they are eligible for the service, then place their order for connectivity.
"Now that more than half of all new broadband customers in America are choosing DSL over cable high-speed Internet service, Wal-Mart is the perfect place for us to both educate consumers about the benefits of our DSL service and to sign up customers who are ready to buy. Verizon Online DSL's combination of fast connections, superior service and affordable pricing is an ideal fit with Wal-Mart's focus on giving its value-conscious shoppers customer satisfaction," Mary Yarbrough, vice president of channel development at Verizon, said in a news release.
