            Wireline Consumer Revenue Growth Remains Strong

services, where year-over-year quarterly revenues now have grown by more than 4
percent for eight consecutive quarters.

Wireline Financial Highlights

    year over year. This is the first quarterly year-over-year increase in
    total wireline revenues in more than seven years.

    compared with second-quarter 2013, with FiOS revenues representing 75

  * Sales of strategic services to enterprise customers increased 3.0 percent
    compared with second-quarter 2013. Strategic services include private IP,

Wireline Operational Highlights

  * In second-quarter 2014, Verizon added 139,000 net new FiOS Internet
    connections and 100,000 net new FiOS Video connections. Verizon had totals
    of 6.3 million FiOS Internet and 5.4 million FiOS Video connections at the
    end of the second quarter, representing year-over-year increases of 9.3
    percent and 7.6 percent, respectively.
  * FiOS Internet penetration (subscribers as a percentage of potential
    subscribers) was 40.1 percent at the end of second-quarter 2014, compared
    with 38.6 percent at the end of second-quarter 2013. In the same periods,
    FiOS Video penetration was 35.3 percent, compared with 34.5 percent. The
    FiOS network passed 19.3 million premises by the end of second-quarter

  * By the end of second-quarter 2014, 55 percent of consumer FiOS Internet
    customers subscribed to FiOS Quantum, which provides speeds ranging from 50
    to 500 megabits per second, up from 51 percent at the end of first-quarter
    2014.
  * Beginning this week, existing and new FiOS customers are receiving upload
    speeds that mirror download speeds. Verizon is the first provider to offer
    symmetrical broadband speeds at no additional charge, enhancing the ability
    of FiOS customers to upload to the cloud, share videos and photos, and
    video chat.
  * Broadband connections totaled 9.1 million at the end of second-quarter
    2014, a 1.5 percent year-over-year increase. Net broadband connections
    increased by 46,000 in second-quarter 2014, as FiOS Internet net additions
    more than offset declines in DSL-based High Speed Internet connections.
  * Verizon has been replacing high-maintenance portions of its residential
    copper network with fiber optics to provide customers with more resilient
    infrastructure and reduce repairs, which improves customer satisfaction and
    reduces costs.  In second-quarter 2014, Verizon migrated an additional
    70,000 customers to fiber.
  * In the second quarter, Verizon Enterprise Solutions began deploying
    innovative cloud, security, M2M (machine-to-machine), networking and other
    technology solutions for a variety of clients around the globe, including
    healthcare clients Avera, Cardinal Health, Cerner, iCare and Molina
    Healthcare; as well as 1-800-Flowers, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation,
    Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Ferrellgas, Johnson Controls, KG Inicis,
    Northgate Information Solutions, Peninsula Light Corporation and the state
    of Colorado's Statewide Internet Portal Authority.

                           Guidance Reiterated

Verizon continues to target 2014 investments in the range of $16.5 billion to
$17 billion, with a decrease in capital spending as a percentage of total
revenues for the full year.

Verizon continues to target consolidated top-line growth of 4 percent and
adjusted consolidated EBITDA margin expansion in 2014, with positive
contributions to profitable growth from both wireless and wireline.
