Faster Mobile Speeds Race Into College Park

The Internet just got 10 times faster for AT&T mobile device users in College Park.

Last week, the University of Maryland, and the surrounding city of College Park, became the first college campus in the nation to get its very own AT&T 4G LTE network, making it the second community in Maryland to experience faster Internet on 4G-enabled AT&T devices, said Margarita Noriega on behalf of AT&T.

“It’s extremely hyper-local in relation to the college campus,” Noriega said.

A faster connection means more efficient online classes, Internet research and video conferencing.

AT&T and Verizon are currently the only providers offering any kind of 4G LTE service in the city of College Park, though Sprint and T-Mobile do have 4G coverage in Baltimore and one or two other major cities in Maryland. That makes College Park one of the few areas in the state, and in the country to have access to this type of network.
