Smart Home Firm Vivint Offering Fast Wireless Broadband Connections in Pilot Markets

Smart home technology provider Vivint said it's offering Vivint Internet, a wireless service with download and upload speeds of 100 Mbps. That's more than nine times faster than the average connection speed in the U.S., the company said in a Wednesday news release. Vivint is providing the service to 15,000 customers in San Antonio and El Paso and in many cities throughout Utah, the company said. Plans are to expand the service to three new markets this year, and to eight new markets in 2016, Vivint said. The standard price of the service is $59.99 monthly, the ISP said.
