Verizon rolling out 4G LTE to 34 new cities tomorrow

Verizon says they will roll out their fast 4G network to 34 new markets tomorrow.
The additions means 235 million Americans, the equivalent of 75 percent of the population, will have access to the network.

At 371 cities, Verizon has, by far, the largest 4G LTE coverage in the U.S. AT&T only has 51 cities, while Sprint has less than 15.

Outside of the new cities, existing coverage in metro areas will also get a boost.

The new markets are:

• Hot Springs, Ark.
• Redding, Calif.
• Valdosta and Waycross, Ga.
• Centralia and Danville, Ill.
• Parsons, Salina, and Topeka, Kan.
• Alexandria and Monroe, La.
• Pittsfield, Mass.
• Battle Creek and Muskegon, Mich.
• Mankato and Worthington, Minn.
• Joplin and Sedalia, Mo.
• Bismarck, Grand Forks, and Minot, N.D.
• Chillicothe, Ohio
• Reading, Pa.
• Aberdeen, S.D.
• Laredo, Odessa, and Texarkana, Texas
• Brattleboro and White River Junction, Vt.
• Charlottesville, Va.
• Longview, Wash.
• Eau Claire, La Crosse, and Manitowoc, Wis.

Yeah, you dont get charged as long as you stay in your small allotted area. A friend of mine moved to a new apartment about 18 miles away from her old one and then got a huge nasty bill BC she was roaming with her minutes cut in half and NO UNLIMITED DATA. Seems that when she was roaming pulling 3G with her laptop (Sprint Laptop), and HTC phone she was unaware that she was pulling data from Verizon's network. Ooops...thousand dollar bill. Verizon may cost more but you pay for the huge network that doesnot isolate you to a small area.

Good luck even getting a GB of data use out of Sprint's slow network.
