AT&T's consumer 5G network is now live in 10 cities. This joins its 5G+ network, available to corporate clients, but there isn't a phone that supports both networks yet.

It joins AT&T's 5G+ network, which first launched in April.tommaso79 | iStock | Getty Imagesthat its 5G network is now live in 10 markets, where consumers can now take advantage of faster data speeds than what 4G LTE offers. It's live in Birmingham, Ala., Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Providence, R.I., Rochester, N.Y., San Diego, San Francisco and San Jose, Calif.

But, the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G announced on Friday doesn't support the 5G+ network. It only supports AT&T's slower but more widespread lower-band 5G network. That means you want to wait for a phone that supports both technologies instead of buying what AT&T is offering consumers today.and other carriers. On Dec. 6, T-Mobile announced that its low-band 5G network went live for 200 million people around the U.S.

AT&T says its 5G network will cover the U.S. in the first half of 2020. The first phones to support both of its technologies, including 5G and 5G+, should be available within that time frame.
