AT&T has a history of aiming at Verizon with its advertising. Taking its HSPA+ footprint and combining it with its LTE coverage, AT&T advertises itself as having the largest 4G network in the country. Now the nation's second largest carrier is using information provided it from a third party source it didn't name, to claim that it has "the highest success rate for delivering mobile content across nationwide 4G LTE networks." In addition, AT&T cites recent studies conducted by PCWorld/TechHive and PC Magazine that show its LTE network to be faster on a consistent basis than its rivals.
AT&T's 4G LTE network isn't just fast, it is also reliable
With that in mind, AT&T's print ads call it the 'fastest' and now the 'most reliable' 4G LTE network. What else can the mobile operator do but poke Big Red in its soft spots? Right now, Verizon's LTE signal covers 301 million POPs while AT&T's LTE signal covers 225 million POPs which is expected to rise to 270 million POPs by year end.
