Verizon Has Started Phasing 3G spectrum to LTE

The phase out of 3G networks in exchange for a 4G LTE capabilities has now started, some are now occurring in Manhattan, according to reports. 

Verizon Wireless is has started working to change 3G networks to a 4G LTE network that will improve services and will be faster and more reliable. The initial switch happened in Manhattan in New York City as reported on Digital Trends. They had also removed some 3G frequencies in Manhattan, and then turn them back on this time using LTE signals. This is still work-in progress and would need some time to complete.

Verizon is aiming to have the entire infrastructure based on 4G LTE service for its customers. They are the largest wireless carrier in the United States, followed by AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile.

If you are one of the low-tech people who uses old cell phones that uses Verizon’s 3G network, be warned that your  old phone days are numbered as they are slowly taking steps to shut the 3G network down.
