Is your town still without Verizon 4G LTE coverage? That could soon change, as Verizon has announced that it's expanding its LTE network again tomorrow, August 16. This latest expansion will bring LTE service to 34 new markets and expand the existing coverage in another 38 markets. Once this month's growth is complete, Verizon's LTE network will cover a total of 371 markets, which the carrier says is more than 75 percent of the U.S. population. You can find the full list of new and expanding LTE areas at the bottom of this post.
We've seen Verizon spread its LTE network in a pretty steady fashion, announcing expansions once a month for the past several months. The carrier hopes to have its LTE service in over 400 markets by the end of this year, which is a goal that Verizon says its "ahead of schedule" on.
