AT&T brings 4G LTE to 9 new markets, LTE will light up in 40 more by end-2012

Minneapolis/St. Paul will be live by the end of 2012. Regional ATT Rep said around Thanksgiving. You can go to airport and experience LTE. LTE starts at Post Rd and surrounds the airport. LTE was also live at the State Fairgrounds.

On the ball? They missed all major metro cities on launch for LTE, got LTE up in NY and LA and skipped the remaining top 20 metro markets instead to put up LTE in San Juan and Oklahoma city. Verizon on the other hand started rolling out LTE much earlier and has been adding markets 3x fast the=an AT&T has and where it reaches the largest amount of customers and potential cust people are renewing contracts and dropping their old carriers to join Verizon in there LTE markets while AT&T takes its sweet time and losses custs in markets without LTE

amount

Different strokes for different folks. In some areas, T-Mobile doesn't have good service. AT&T may be more expensive, but the fact of the matter is, AT&T has WAY more coverage than T-Mobile does at the moment. Also, the fact that AT&T 4G LTE phones supports both HSPA+ and LTE speeds put them at a great advantage. However, if AT&T and T-Mobile both have good coverage in your area and you want a better value, then go for T-Mobile. If not, then AT&T is still a good option. Some people are willing to pay a bit more for better service.

I agree verizon does have much more LTE coverage than at&t . BUT in terms of speed were both at&t and verizon have LTE from what I seen in LA,NY,IL, and texas at&t beats verizon in speed with there LTE speed igot much faster speeds on my att galaxy note than my man got on his verizon razr maxx. And besides us at&t customers dont need lte because we have hspa+ were LTE is not available my man is just like u a verizon fanboy im sure u 2 would get along lol. Hes always talking shyyt bout at&t and comparing his phone with my phone and doing speed tests just bout everywere we go just to compare which is faster his or mine. HE has been shocked that I have been able to get 13 mbps on at&t hspa+ while hes getting 10 on verizon Lte . And even more shocked that when im on AT&TS lte I get up to 40 mbps while the highest he gets on verizon is 25. So yeaaa go figure.

Many people could give a rip about LTE. With AT&T 3G/HSPA+ most don't see the need. I have several friends that are content with Verizon 3G on there phones and don't see a need to get a LTE phone. My wife has a HSPA Blackberry and it suits her just fine. As for VZW LTE markets they broadcast all these areas, however, the coverage does blanket all the city. I have a VZW LTE work hotspot and cities that have both AT&T and VZW LTE, AT&T has been faster for me on my G-Note. Also remember when you roll off VZW LTE you go to SLOW EVDO 3G.

The AT&T rep told me in Feb when I got my Note that no later than spring and Phila would have LTE it's now Sept and still no LTE here
