Like AT&T, Verizon is also improving its LTE coverage as the newly-LTE-sporting iPhone 5 arrives in millions of hands across the country.
Verizon has been busy in the lead up to the big launch, either expanding or introducing new LTE coverage into markets across 20 states. According to Verizon, their LTE blankets 75% of the U.S. population in 371 markets. They hope to push that number to over 400 by year’s end.
The very latest area to recieve a 4G LTE expansion is Philadelphia. Verizon also added new 4G LTE coverage to Pottsville, Stroudsburg, Sunbury, and Williamsport.
