While the others bumble, AT&T beams!
Yesterday, most of the cellular world was talking about T-Mobile’s big outage. It affected callers on all networks and even created issues with land lines. The problem seems to be fixed now. That’s good news, and hopefully in the coming days we’ll come to understand what happened and why.
In the meantime, AT&T let loose an amazing upgrade to cities and towns all over the nation. They lit up 137 new markets with their low-band 5G service that will allow faster speeds without a massive increase in towers.
5G is here and it’s safe
There have been a lot of rumors about 5G in the past months, blaming it for the rise in health issues this year. There’s absolutely no reliable scientific data that proves any link between 5G and any virus, period. In fact, you need to understand that the 5G implementations that are going in right now are all on existing frequency ranges that have been in use for decades. AT&T’s 5G uses frequencies in the 600-850MHz band that were used initially for television; some of those frequencies have been used for cellular for years. The only difference is the technology that’s being used, not the frequencies.
327 markets, 160 million people
AT&T’s 5G technology now blankets the US with coverage in 27 markets encompassing 160 million people. Now, customers in Baton Rouge, Nashville, Tallahassee, and other cities can get in on the 5G fun using compatible phones and plans. Here’s the complete list of new cities added this week:
