AT&T announced the launch of 4G LTE service in eleven new markets,
which means the company now reaches over 200 million potential POPs with
faster LTE service. Within AT&T’s press release they’ve expanded
LTE service to the following areas; Dover, Del.; Leonardtown, Md.; Ocean
City, Md.; Asheville, N.C.; Goldsboro, N.C.; Salem, Ore.; Culpeper,
Va.; Roanoke, Va.; Longview, Wash.; Port Townsend-North Whidbey
Island-Camano Island, Wash.; and Shelton, Wash. The latest deployment
brings them up to 239 markets covered with LTE and they plan to have
over 300 million people covered by the end of 2014. Although this is
more than Sprint or T-Mobile offer, it’s still a far cry from the 497
markets Verizon has covering 95% of the population with 4G LTE service.
To play catch up AT&T will be launching another 77 markets
throughout the summer months and offers excellent wireless speed.
