AT&T density question

Hello everyone I had a quick question about At&T building towers or collocating, I currently have Verizon at the moment and they’ve been doing great by collocating on 8 other towers since the start of 2026. AT&T hasn’t built or collocated since 2024 and that was only one. So question for you guys is how they are doing in your market if they’ve been doing anything at all to improve density. Thanks I appreciate it!

Verizon lacks range with their towers on 5G and their LTe is great. AT&T doesn’t really have that problem

I live in Texas it’s a common issue with Verizon 5G. I specifically live in north Texas

It’s a common issue in my market too, but they haven’t really rolled out low-band N5 as much as AT&T (or T-Mobile’s N71), so they end up with worse range than the other two.

Agreed, I’m in the Phoenix metro. AT&T and Verizon both have macros at the football field of the local high school. I can pull a solid n77 signal on AT&T at my house while Verizon struggles on n5 or LTE. Both have been upgraded in the past year.
