There's really no other way to put it -- Verizon's LTE rollout is putting other companies' 4G offerings to shame. Some 15 more cities are set to get Verizon's 4G data on Aug. 18, and 10 will see their coverage expanded. Here's the breakdown:
New LTE service:
- Tucson, Ariz.
- Fayetteville/Springdale/Rogers, Ark.
- Bakersfield and Salinas/Monterey/Seaside, Calif.
- Fort Collins, Colo.; Frederick, Md.
- Worcester, Mass.
- Omaha, Neb./Council Bluffs, Iowa
- Albany, Ithaca and Syracuse, N.Y.
- Altoona and Johnstown, Pa.
- Memphis, Tenn.
- Provo, Utah.
And expanded service is coming to:
- Washington, D.C.
- Tampa, Fla.
- Atlanta, Ga.
- Baltimore, Md.
- Boston, Mass.
- Lansing, Mich.
- New York, N.Y.
- Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio
- Salt Lake City-Ogden, Utah.
Of course, you'll need an LTE-capable device if you want to get those sweet data speeds. Current LTE smartphones are the Samsung Droid Charge, HTC ThunderBolt and LG Revolution. The upcoming Motorola Droid Bionic will also be able to use LTE data. On the tablet side, Verizon's got the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
For a full list of cities with LTE, ease on past the break.
