What has happened to this poor mans head?

 

[commandersozo]

Is this some kind of subtle message? That Verizon needs to give Luke Wilson head?

 

[cadder]

I was on an 800 mile trip over the weekend. My phone reported the ATT Edge network the whole way but would only connect to the internet in the ONE town along the way that had 3G service. If Verizon weren't even worse #^(*^ than ATT I'd switch to them.

Verizon's bad coverage ate it, apparently.

 

[Raid3r]

it was fun.

 

[antilycus]

I think even this AD is a lie. AtT's networks blow. DSM phones in general always will. It's their largest flaw. Either you get a signal or you dont. The end

I think the point that the ad is trying to make is that with verizon Luke Wilson loads slower, so you don't get the same ammount of Luke within the same timeframe. If you are talking about THEORETICAL speeds, then yes, but real world testing shows that Verizons REAL WORLD speeds on their network is often times very close if not faster than AT&T's. So while they are able to claim that their network is faster due to theoretical maximums, the network still sucks and is still rated as one of thew worst. see the following: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/07/3g-speed-test/

Uhhhh. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't AT&T already loose the coverage war already... In fact, they lost big. Verizon does cover more people than AT&T both in data and voice networks.

I know, I was being sarcastic.

 

[doomtomb]

AT&T ain't got game. This is just plain dumb. No statistical proof, they can say whatever they want. That's ads for you but still, anyone who would listen to this is missing at least half a brain.

 

[video_master]

of course their network is faster. They do not have as many customers and they do not have as much coverage. Hence the network will be faster. Not by much though.

 

[Guest]

If these two companies would take the hundreds of millions spent on advertising and simply put it into the network infrastructure they would have much better networks.
People may be stupid but as soon as they found that one network performed better they would move to it. Commercials not needed.

 

[reichscythe]

So... AT&T grants consumers a superior 3G experience... in the 4 cities, nationwide, that they actually cover...

 

[banthracis]

No reichscythe, it doesn't include NYC. Apparently our 30% drop call rate and DL speeds slower than a 56k modem are "perfectly normal". A rep actually told me that when I called to complain...

 

[mr_tuel]

So I can download Luke Wilson faster on AT&T than on Verizon...So what? What about my pr0n?!?

 

[tmike]

Apparently AT&T believes that we are headless as well.

Verizon can wait its turn, I won't be done with him for several hours yet.

 

[duckmanx88]

and if you move that ATT download a little bit to the left you lose connection and the image. i would sacrifice a tiny bit of speed(literally just one second longer for the head?) for stability/coverage.

I've had enough of the Wilson brothers...

I can stand Luke, it's the other one I hate.
