This is just pathetic. Verizon launches nearly as many LTE Markets as AT&T has in single day.
Verizon now has 7x the 4GLTE coverage of AT&T.... and not a peep to be heard from AT&T's press shills.... |

Re: Is AT&T even trying anymore? Sprint may have LTE to all of its sites before ATT matches. If Sprint can deliver as planned, their entire footprint should have LTE by end of next year. Was disappointed in Sprint's KC LTE coverage at first but they keep adding more LTE sites across the metro.
Good performance and unlimited...

AT&T doesn't need LTE as badly as Verizon does.
My faux-G on AT&T regularly hits 5-6mbps on my iPhone. It's fine for most purposes. On my Verizon iPad, however, I'm lucky to break 160kbps, even when I have a strong 3G signal. Verizon LTE can't get here fast enough.

| Could use better 4G Coverage Springfield, MA was upgraded to 4G last year, although the coverage in Springfield city limits is generally good but the signals in outlying areas (particularly West Springfield and Westfield) revert to 3G.

Riverside, CA | Yay! Now if only my phone's 4G wouldn't drop every few minutes like it currently does, I'd be all 'yay!' and stuff. I already said 'yay!' Oh, OK, then.
Still. It seems every time they're rolling out a 'new location', the stability of those currently being serviced by the 4G network suffers. I've had no less than 15 dropouts today *ALONE* -- since 9AM. And it's only 3 now! Just curious, am I the only one with this problem? Bionic users sound off! \o/ |

Re: How AT&T Works vs. Verizon What does the closure of AT&T's 2G network have to do with modernization? When does Verizon plan to close their CDMA network?

Re: Is AT&T even trying anymore? Dubuque, IA which has IBM GDF site still doesn't have LTE from VZ. In the meantime, US Cellular already has there LTE, even at&t already has faux-4g there. Before they got there HSPA+ up and running, I was already getting sometimes 6mb/s download on regular 3G. |

Exactly, AT&T LTE here is DOG slow. AT&T 3G is just as fast. Most of time I don't bother with AT&T's LTE and use my Clear WiMAX puck. |

| yeah, 5-6mb on att 3g is "slow", but "fast" on clear wimax  |

| I routinely see 8-10 Mb on Clear's WiMAX...at least here. But looking at the Clear forums, lots of people complain about flakey speeds. And it's unlimited use, no caps or throttling for $50/mo...at least until they go bankrupt.
I use it to Slingbox at the gym and it works great. No worries about any caps and it's snappy enough to stream near HD quality. |

Re: How AT&T Works vs. Verizon Verizon's 3G is more capable than AT&T's 2G, but what's more relevant is that since Verizon's LTE deployment will cover its entire 3G footprint by the end of 2013, Verizon's 3G network is simply a fallback. In fact, Verizon isn't planning to sell any 3G-only phones anymore.
AT&T isn't planning to address this legacy network until 2017. We'll see how far along they are in deploying LTE. If anything, it'll be the token coverage that they are doing now with HSPA+ as the workhorse.

| This is why AT&T is taking their time. Even on my iPhone 4 with HSPA 7.2, speeds are great.
With my AT&T LTE iPad on "4G", I've seen speeds upto 12-13Mbps. We don't need the speed as bad as Sprint and Verizon does. |

Well considering we still have 4 1/2 months left in 2012 and they have 75% of the population covered already. |
