AT&T 4G LTE now available in an additional 17 markets

In an attempt to overtake Verizon Wireless in having “America’s largest 4G LTE network”, AT&T has launched 4G LTE coverage in an additional 17 markets.

If you have an LTE-enabled device on AT&T you should be seeing  those blazing fast 4G LTE speeds in the areas listed below.

• Nacogdoches-Lufkin, Texas
• Athens, Texas
• Paris, Texas
• Huntsville, Texas
• Corsicana, Texas
• Gulfport and Biloxi, Mississippi
• Mountain Home, Arkansas
• Tucson, Arizona
• Lansing, Michigan
• Shreveport and Bossier, Louisiana
• Huntsville, Decatur and Cullman, Alabama
• Ocala, Florida
• Lake City, Florida
• Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania
• Henderson, North Carolina

This latest rollout brings AT&T‘s total number of LTE networks up to 207. This puts the carrier even closer to reaching its goal of 300 million points-of-presence by the end of 2013. If AT&T keeps expanding their LTE network like they are now, there’s no doubt that they’ll catch up to Verizon Wireless in no time flat.

Considering that, in most cases, AT&T has lower prices than Verizon Wireless it’ll be really great to see AT&T have as much or as nearly as much coverage as Big Red does. Though, I’m sure with T-Mobile’s new UNcarrier strategy, most people would love to see them all over the U.S. instead!
