Planning on using your AT&T 4G LTE-capable smartphone to kill time at a family function or upload an endless stream of fireworks photos during the upcoming Fourth of July weekend? If you answered "yes," then the big blue carrier's got some good news for you this morning. AT&T announced this morning that it's lit up several new markets with LTE service and expanded its existing coverage in many other areas. The list of new and expanded locales that've been named by AT&T so far is available at the bottom of this post.
As you can see in the list below, AT&T's latest LTE expansion is one of its beefiest in recent memory. That's not a total surprise, though, as the carrier likely wanted to activate as much new and expanded LTE service as possible before the long Fourth of July weekend in the U.S. If you're an AT&T customer in one of the new or expanded LTE markets listed below, be sure to swing by the comments section to tell us all about how the fresh service is working for you!
