Verizon Wireless announces substantially complete 4G LTE network with rollout in 500th market

The 4G LTE network launched in Boston in Dec. 2010, making it one of the first markets to offer its high speed network. The impact of 4G LTE has transformed the entire mobile ecosystem, including streaming video from a train and photo sharing from a mountain peak, chatting on Skype, or listening to Pandora on a long drive throughout New England.


Today, Verizon Wireless announced that its 4G LTE network now covers 500 markets in 49 states which equates to 99 percent of its 3G network footprint. It's available to more than 95 percent of the U.S. population (more than 298 million people) and is carrying 57 percent of all of Verizon Wireless data traffic. In New England alone, Verizon Wireless invested more than $3.3 billion into its network since 2000, including more than $256 million 2012. Over the last 60 days Verizon Wireless announced several 4G LTE enhancements in New Hampshire.
