AT&T continues 4G LTE network expansion effort
In a continuing effort to extend the gift of LTE to more markets, AT&T has just added seven more areas to be graced by the next-generation network. This follows what is a tradition now – AT&T tirelessly expands their 4G network, and we report it so that you know precisely when to start shaking with uncontrollable joy.
A quick recap – while still officially behind Verizon in terms of total LTE coverage, No. 2 in the US reportedly covers over 292 million people throughout 300 markets. Pretty impressive considering that the total population of the US of A is estimated at about 314 million. Moreover, in a recent countrywide drive-through, PCMag released the results of its annual network testing – on average AT&T won over Verizon and any other in terms of actual LTE speeds in urban areas (Verizon fared better in rural regions).
