AT&T 4G LTE - Latest markets launching and speculation

[shortyd999]

We barely just got *4G* HSPA+, its going to be well over a year before we get any kind of LTE from AT&T. Verizon will likely be the only LTE option here for a while.

Oh ok... I kind of figured that.

Places I haven't picked up an LTE signal:
Baton Rouge, LA
New Orleans, LA
Philadelphia, PA
Fort Wayne, IN

What a complete joke how AT&T is managing the Philadelphia, Pa market. Being around the 5th largest city in the US doesn't hold much merit in AT&T's eyes. The network is constantly over congested resulting in non-existent data connections and dropped/failed call attempts. It seems pretty obvious AT&T would rather half-*** their LTE roll out by avoiding most of their larger markets and focusing on small towns so they can claim more total "LTE Markets".

AT&T hasn't ignored Philadelphia; just because you don't have LTE yet, doesn't mean that they are ignoring you at all. They're slow with roll-outs - that we know - but they aren't ignoring the Philadelphia, or any other large, market.

Heck, Detroit, Portland, Kansas City, Sacramento, Austin, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Memphis, and more didn't get Verizon LTE initially; that did not mean Verizon was ignoring them either.

Service should get less congested on AT&T soon because of the number of people leaving AT&T and going to Verizon, so thats something to look forward too. Of course that isn't going to fill in all the coverage gaps AT&T has in west jefferson county and in Bibb.

Bibb lol I think Overalls when I hear that.

Well sir, you are correct! That is an accurate description of Bibb county AL I would say

They're popular among Railroaders too.

Anybody noticed the little spot of LTE in Georgia straight above tallahassee ? Kinda weird and random

Yes I noticed that little blob of LTE was thinking the same thing. Hoping AT&T brings that 700mhz goodness to Jacksonville, FL soon. We know they have plenty of spectrum around here.

I'm impressed with LTE coverage in the Southland + OC/SD regions.
I thought it would be much much less.

It is good, but they need to move it east into the East San Gabriel Valley and Pomona Valley, and the IE. Currently it ends about at Arcadia, and there is only a bit of spillover east of there in places like the Puente Hills.

It's a mapping error, that place has no AT&T service to begin with, you can't even get edge in most of that blob.

Funny that they hit those places, but don't touch the north half of the city of Los Angeles (Sam Fernando Valley / Burbank)

Like the Valley's gotta wait, fer sure They're showing some love to my home turf (San Gabriel Valley), the best part of the L.A. area I think, so I'm not complaining.
