“The Verizon Wireless 4GLTE Network is BY FAR the largest and the most advanced 4GLTE wireless network in the world,” Verizon said in a statement posted to its website. “It is available in 190 US markets and covers more than 200 million people, providing the fastest 4G Network in the US”
Currently, only Verizon and AT&T are the only major wireless carriers in the US with active 4G networks, and AT&T’s 4G LTE network is much smaller. Sprint is in the early stages of building up its 4G LTE network and T-Mobile will follow soon as well.
“Being a pioneer comes with growing pains,” Verizon said. “The recent issues that affected our customers‘ 4G LTE service were unforeseen despite careful, diligent planning, deployment and ongoing upgrade programs.
Verizon, the nation’s largest wireless carrier with about 90 million customers, also estimated that the outages resulted in its network being in service about 99% of the time this year.
However, despite the outages, Verizon has not put the 2$ planned charge back into place and has reiterated the fact that the charge originally planned to be introduced by mid-January will definitely not take place
