ST. LOUIS, MO, JULY 8, 2013 — AT&T* wireless customers in the St. Louis area are enjoying the network ranked highest for combined/overall voice, data and text performance by an independent mobile research and testing organization.
Seattle-based RootMetrics® today released a wireless network performance study for the St. Louis region, naming AT&T the overall RootMetrics RootScore® Award winner for its combination of call, text and data performance. AT&T ranked tied for 1st in the previous RootMetrics study for St. Louis.
The RootMetrics award is based on analysis of more than 64,130 wireless test calls, texts and data transmissions conducted during May, 2013.
“AT&T ranked highest in St. Louis for overall network performance, according to our research conducted in May, 2013. We tested call, data and text performance across all networks in the St. Louis area, including over 4G LTE networks. As a result, AT&T won the RootScore Award for overall performance in the area,” said Bill Moore, RootMetrics’ President and CEO.
AT&T launched 4G LTE** in St. Louis in April, 2012, and it plans to expand its 4G LTE network to cover 300 million people nationwide by year-end 2014. Even as 4G LTE expands, customers can get 4G speeds outside of 4G LTE areas with our 4G HSPA+ technology.
“Our customers have told us they’ve been amazed by the speeds and quality of our 4G LTE network, and the latest RootMetrics test backs that up,” said John Sondag, president of AT&T Missouri. “There are more reasons than ever to choose AT&T. We invested nearly $2 billion in our St. Louis wireless and wireline networks from 2009 through 2012, and we’ll continue investing in order to give our customers the best possible experience.”
The testing period covering St. Louis, MO, released on July 3, 2013, measured 64,130 call, data, and text tests of mobile service experience by RootMetrics. The Report is proprietary to RootMetrics.
