Even though AT&T’s 4G LTE network coverage isn’t as impressive as Verizon’s, the drive to make it better shows AT&T’s determination to offer customers with satisfaction of the product and the network necessary to keep up with increasingly demanding software and hardware as technology continues to evolve. One of the major selling points of smartphones today is blazing fast internet connections, so it's a good move for the company that will certainly attract customers from the listed locations.
In AT&T’s infographic piece, they boast 4G LTE coverage of 275 million people and state that the construction of their 4G LTE network will be mostly complete in 2013, which by then, AT&T's 4G LTE network coverage should cover anywhere that an AT&T signal can be reached.
