We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our4G LTE networkin Lewiston and

Auburn responds to what customers want from their mobile experience more, faster, reliably, on thebest devices, said Patricia Jacobs, president, AT&T New England.

AT&Ts 4G Network

This launch is part of AT&Ts Project Velocity IP (VIP), a three-year investment plan announced last fall

to expand and enhance its IP broadband networks. Through this investment, AT&T is supporting its

customers growing desire for high-speed Internet access and new mobile, app and cloud-based

services. As part of Project VIP, AT&T plans to add more than 10,000 macro cell sites nationwide byyear-end 2015, as well as deploy more than 40,000 small cells and add more than 1,000 Distributed

Antenna Systems to increase the density of its wireless network.

AT&Ts innovation and investment has resulted in a nationwide 4G network with ultra-fast speeds and a

consistent user experience. The great performance of AT&Ts fastest and most reliable 4G LTE

network continues to be validated by independent third-party testing:

Our 4G LTE service was recognized as having faster average download and upload speedsthan any of our competitors inPCWorld/TechHives most recent 20-market speed tests the

second consecutive year that AT&T has ranked first overall. PCWorld/TechHive also ranked

AT&Ts as the fastest combination of 3G and 4G services in the 20 cities it tested.****

And AT&T was named Americas fastest 4G LTE network inPC Magazines 2013 Fastest

Mobile Networks 30-market study and also swept the top rankings in all six U.S. regions from

coast to coast: Northeast, Southeast, North-Central, South-Central, Northwest and

Southwest.*****

Even as AT&T continues to expand its 4G LTE coverage, customers can get 4G speeds outside of 4G

LTE areas on our 4G HSPA+ network, unlike some competitors, where smartphone customers may fall

back to slower 3G technologies when outside of LTE coverage.

AT&Ts focus to deliver the best possible mobile Internet experience goes beyond 4G to embraceadditional connection technologies. AT&T operatesthe nations largest Wi-Fi network****** including

more than 32,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers, and

provides access to more than 402,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T

smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi

usage doesnt count against customers monthly wireless data plans.

AT&T also is a leading developer of Distributed Antenna Systems, which utilize multiple small antennas

to maximize coverage and speed within stadiums, convention centers, office buildings, hotels and otherareas where traditional coverage methods are challenging.

Over the past five years, AT&T invested nearly $98 billion into its wireless and wireline networks across

the country. Since 2008, AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any other public

company. In a July 2012 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1 on its list of U.S.
