Verizon Wireless said Monday that it will expand its 4G LTE service to more than two dozen additional cities on September 15, including the San Francisco Bay Area.
The company's service is already available in 117 cities, and next month it will also hit San Francisco, Austin, Iowa City, Cleveland, and more. A full list is below.
The expanded roll-out comes after an August 18 that brought Verizon's 4G LTE to 15 new cities and expanded access in 10, including Cincinnati, Syracuse, and Provo. At that point, Verizon said its 4G service was available to 160 million people, or half of the U.S. population.
Earlier this month, HP's Compaq division announced the first netbook for the 4G network. The Compaq Mini CQ10-688nr hit Verizon's online store on August 4 for $499.99. Data plans begin at $30 per month. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet with 4G LTE capabilities was released for Verizon on July 28.
Thinking of unlocking a Verizon Wireless LTE phone for use on AT&T's network, or vice versa? Think again. Verizon Wireless confirmed last month that its LTE phones will not "be compatible on other LTE networks in the U.S." because "the phones will be on different frequencies."
