AT&T’s 3G network just got a little better for Colorado. Big Blue has migrated its 3G services to the better-performing 850Mhz band in Colorado, bringing increased 3G reception and improved 3G performance to the Boulder, Denver, Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland, and the Front Range areas.
The lower frequency 850Mhz band is better at penetrating solid objects (like buildings) than the 1900Mhz band that AT&T also uses. That means better indoor reception, and ultimately better 3G performance (more bars means faster data speeds). This latest announcement is part of AT&T’s ongoing effort to migrate its entire 3G network to the 850Mhz band to improve service across the board.
Now, if AT&T could just bring their 7.2Mbps HSDPA service to more than a handful of metro areas in the US, we’d be happy campers.
