With its current HSPA+ 4G network being bashed as nothing more than 3G with a wig on, AT&T has announced plans to roll out its next, faster high-speed data network. Ma Bell plans to roll out its next-gen LTE network in five markets this summer. If you're an AT&T subscriber living in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio, Texas you'll be treated to the company's fastest data speeds.
If you don't live in either of those locales, don't fret. AT&T says its spending $19 billion on its high-speed network this year and plans to get its 4G LTE service in 10 additional markets by the year's end. If that doesn't work for you, there's always Verizon, who's 4G LTE service is already in 55 markets with an additional 23 on the schedule.
