Responding to consumer complaints about dropped calls and slow data speeds, American wireless giant AT&T has announced plans to spend $2 billion on network improvement this year.

AT&T’s plans include building more cell towers and laying new fiber-optic cables between towers to improve data speed. This should help the carrier catch up to leading rival, Verizon Wireless, which has repeatedly attacked AT&T’s network in recent advertisements.
