AT&T outlines $250 million network investment in Connecticut

by Darren Murph posted Jul 5th 2008 at 9:07AM

Given that we're still waiting for some tangible results from AT&T's half billion dollar fiber investment in the Carolinas, we wouldn't get our hopes too high for any sudden improvements in Connecticut. The carrier has announced plans to invest some $250 million in the Constitution State's wired and wireless networks, which should bring 3G access to more cell sites and enable it to spread U-verse to more homes. Regrettably, AT&T failed to mention specific locations in which it hoped to stretch its fiber-based programming service into, but hopefully we'll know something further before the next decade comes and goes.

Salem (a.k.a no cell tower Salem) would love a little bit more of coverage. I get about A bar of service in my house, and that is upstairs near a window facing the closest cell tower. I'd love 3G, but I'd rather get 3 or 4 bars first.

Thanks!

yep. at&t is very slow about expanding wireless coverage. the worst thing to happen to their wireless customers was going to at&t because now money has to be spent on rolling out tv services too. i very highly doubt any exec at at&t knows that it's 2008. after 20+ years in wireless, they still have coverage issues. does this make sense to anyone else??? 20 years for roll out of blanket wireless coverage.
