What makes this mid-band upgrade so useful? While low-band frequencies provide the broadest coverage range, they are much slower. In contrast, high-band is speedy but has a much more limited range and has more issues with penetrating obstructions like buildings and even tree lines. Mid-band is the Gollilocks standard here. It’s faster than low-band, but with range and performance that’s somewhere in between the two.


The upgraded spectrum is now available in more than 5,3000 cities across the US across 48 states, and represents one of the biggest jumps in AT&T performance in a while. According to AT&T, 5G phones will see a speed increase of around 80% when connected to an area with upgraded spectrum. Its 5G-based Internet Air service will also see a boost of around 55%. First responders should also notice increased performance on AT&T FirstNet as well.
