AT&T is the US carrier that calls its 5G network for business customers 5G+. Until earlier today, the 5G+ service was available in 25 cities, but AT&T announced 10 more cities benefit from 5G+ network coverage starting today.

Unlike 5G network that runs on the carrier’s 600MHz spectrum, 5G+ runs over ultra-high band mmWave spectrum, which has both benefits and downsides. While 5G+ offers blazing-fast download data speeds, it has issues penetrating buildings.

Here are the 10 cities that are now partially covered by AT&T’s 5G+ network: Cleveland, OH, Menlo Park, CA, Miami, FL, Miami Gardens, FL, Oakland, CA, Ocean City, MD, Phoenix, AZ, Philadelphia, PA, Redwood City, CA, and San Bruno, CA.

These add to the 25 cities that already benefit from AT&T’s 5G+ service: Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Charlotte, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, King of Prussia, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Louisville, Nashville, New Orleans, New York City, Oklahoma City, Orlando, Raleigh, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Waco, and West Hollywood.

If you’re not a business customer, you can get 5G data speeds on AT&T’s network in 19 cities: Baltimore, Birmingham, Ala., Bridgeport, Conn., Buffalo, Detroit, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Louisville, Ky., Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Providence, R.I., Rochester, N.Y., San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Calif., and Washington D.C.

Questions & Answers

Q.

What is the key technical difference between AT&T's 5G network and its 5G+ network?

A.

AT&T's 5G network operates on the carrier’s 600MHz spectrum. In contrast, the 5G+ network, designed for business customers, runs over ultra-high band mmWave spectrum. This technical difference impacts performance and signal penetration.

Q.

Are there any drawbacks to the 5G+ network's advanced technology?

A.

Yes, while 5G+ offers exceptionally fast download speeds, it experiences issues with penetrating buildings. This characteristic of mmWave spectrum means coverage might be more limited or less consistent indoors than the standard 5G network.

Q.

A.

Ten more cities now partially benefit from AT&T's 5G+ network: Cleveland, OH, Menlo Park, CA, Miami, FL, Miami Gardens, FL, Oakland, CA, Ocean City, MD, Phoenix, AZ, Philadelphia, PA, Redwood City, CA, and San Bruno, CA.

Q.
