Earlier today, AT&T took to the web to announce its extending and upgrading its LTE connectivity services to an additional five markets in the United States.

The five new markets that will receive AT&T’s LTE service starting today, include parts of Alaska, Hawaii, Ohio, Virginia, Washington and Pennsylvania — check out the full list below:

• Ketchikan, Alaska
• Maui, Hawaii
• Cambridge, Ohio
• Meadville, Pa.
• Parkersburg-Marietta, W. Va. and Ohio

AT&T, who refers to itself as ‘the nation’s most reliable 4G network’, expects its full rollout to be complete by the end of this summer; so if you’re in an area that doesn’t currently have coverage, it should be with you soon.

If you have access to AT&T’s 4G network, but haven’t yet been persuaded to take the plunge, the operator has provided three reasons why it thinks you should do so.

Firstly, LTE technology is capable of delivering speeds faster than many other mobile Internet technologies. Customers can stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before.

Secondly, AT&T not only has the nation’s most reliable 4G LTE network. According to independent third-party data, AT&T has the highest success rate for delivering mobile content across nationwide 4G LTE networks. –

Third and foremost, LTE technology offers lower latency, or the processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file.

If you’re in one of the announced locations, where you have the ability to access the LTE network, why not give AT&T a call today to upgrade to one of its 4G plans?
