Spreading the word

Our media team is stopping by news stations around the country -- albeit virtually -- to talk about the latest technology, trends and offers. Look for Diana Alvear, David Weissmann and others on your local TV stations.

Andy is going… somewhere?

There’s someone on the team who still wants to hit the road non-virtually. This summer, Andy’s planning to head out to some of our 5G cities, as well as some others. So, what’s Andy thinking? Stay tuned to Up To Speed to find out.
