AT&T Customers Get a Boost in Mobile Service

AT&T customers can expect a boost to their mobile broadband service, as part of the network giant's efforts to improve the infrastructure in a number of Queens neighborhoods, including Little Neck. 

The upgrades will impact customers whose phones are 4G capable, meaning they will experience faster connectivity speeds and more comprehensive coverage. 

AT&T has spent $200 million in 2011 alone building up its wireline and wireless networks in the state of New York. The company plans to spend $20 billion to increase coverage nationwide.

"As part of the Queens community, we're always looking for new opportunities to provide an enhanced customer experience, and our investment in the local wireless network is just one way we're accomplishing that," said Tom DeVito, vice president and general manager for AT&T in New York and New Jersey. 

Other neighborhoods with newly upgraded cell sites are Astoria, Bayside, Corona, Elmhurst, Flushing, Forest Hills, Fresh Meadows, Jamaica, Long Island City, Maspeth, Queens Village, Richmond Hill, Ridgewood, South Ozone Park and Woodside.
