Verizon’s XLTE (LTE-Advanced) network upgrades are moving faster than ever since the initial launch with the wireless carrier announcing that more than 50 new markets have been added to the list today. That brings the full roster to more than 300 cities with XLTE (you can find the full list here).
XLTE delivers up to double the bandwidth of Verizon’s previous deployment, giving you a faster data connection and less congestion in crowded areas. Verizon already has a pretty sizable list of devices that are capable of receiving XLTE speeds, including recent heavy hitters such as the Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One M8 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Even older devices such as the DROID line, the LG G2 and many other flagships from last year can enjoy the increased speeds.
Verizon proved with their initial 4G LTE rollout that they had the innate ability to reach a wide range of people in an extremely short amount of time, and they’re proving they can do it all over again with these latest upgrades coming in at breakneck pace. Let your eyes wander below for the full list of the newest cities added to the mix in case you’re curious. Fire your XLTE-capable device up and give it a try if you happen to be in an area drenched in the new coverage.
