[citation]Oh yeah, funny that the ads are showing AT&T U-verse. Tried it. Went through a 2 week outage that made the news, and switched back to Comcast.[/citation]
LOL! Not to laugh at this misfortune, I know where you're coming from with that. But you know AT&T is terrible when you gladly sign up for a comcast contract.
[citation][nom]backin5[/nom]"Unlike Verizon, AT&T has the nation's fastest 3G network."So fast, your cell phone can't even reach it...[/citation]
Nice!
 
Since AT&T has twice as many customers as AT&T, some of you are commenting that AT&T has 0 customers. I propose instead that AT&T's number of customers is equal to i, meaning their client base is irrational and does not exist.
 
I am a T-Mobile customer, but i have had all more major carriers and i can tell you straight uo that ATT is by far the worst of all of them. They have too many droped calls, too many dead area's, too many phoney billed calls, too expensive calling plans, mediocore customer service. They would be nothing if Apple didn't give them the exclusive rights to the iphone. Apple could of sold 8X the iphones if they would of let it be on any carrier, but no their stupidity got the best of them again.
 
[citation][nom]homrqt[/nom]No carrier service is flawless. Get over it. We already argue about which sports team, politician, religion, etc is better, we have to add damn cell phone carriers to the list??[/citation]

Your right no carrier service is flawless but some are better then others overall!
 
[citation][nom]sslazio77[/nom]AT&T > Verizon I connect to my slingbox through 3G and it works perfectly fine, doesnt even lag or skip.. stream tv over 3g.. verizon locks down all their fones you cant do anything, not even use a ringtone some1 sends you through mms[/citation]

Ahh! what phone are you using a 1980's brick phone? I have the Verizon TP2 and have just about anything I've want to do with it without any lockdown/lockout issue's. I've customized it, I can tether it, etc.
 
well i have at&t and i love them i get reception in places Verizon consumers cant get reception... And the Iphone isn't the only phone At&t hides behind they got the Samsung Jack which BTW the first two versions are concerned to be the best selling smart-phones in the world. But then again Verizon also has an android phone which at&t doesn't have and they also have a more verity of phones compared to at&t's selection.
 
[citation][nom]kingair11[/nom]***** WE fish a lot in WA state. With my verizon, I get service where my brother does not on the water with AT&T. ALSO SINCE I AM A PILOT I GET SERVICE IN PLACES IN ALASKA WHERE MY FELLOW PILOT WITH AT&T DOES NOT !!! ENOUGH SAID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/citation]
Verizon has been the only carrier of the big four to have cell phone coverage in Alaska for a very, very long time. As for the rest of the USA, AT&T beats Verizon hands down at least in voice coverage. With the iPhone you can even roam on Verizon's network in many areas like parts of Montana and Wyoming for example.
 
Only 4 ? REALLY AT&T ? FOUR ? This ain't Tracy Chapman album here! Give me a break.. The most insulting monolithic company I have EVER dealt with! Tracy only needed 1 reason ... 4 ? The NERVE. (HA!!)
 
All Cell phone "coverage" is crap and will continue to be crap until the old Analog TV communications block is finally completely released to them.

And did I miss something cause I don't know what commercials they are talking about?

And just to be a dick....Palm Pre is awesome.
 
I fucking hate AT&T Liars and crooks.I am extremely hopeful that they go belly up soon.I got ripped off by them a few years ago for a bill of $950.that this fucking little my wise and beautiful friend(Brian) CSR brought on me for inquiring about a national plan and took me off the plan I had without me asking.WTF?All my complaining was in futility.They were dead set on ripping me off.HATE T-mobile also had a phone sent to me only I received a empty box and I reported it stolen to them 3 to4 times and after that just went and bought a phone from em locally.I explicitely told them in person that the other phone was stolen and to change that account # they said they did but intead a month later the bill came in with T mobile wanting me to pay for both phones(bills)including the stolen one.I went and got a "pay as you go phone" just to discover later that the Net 10 phone is division of AT&T.@#$%! No wonder my "available" minutes keep disappearing. couple of minutes here, a couple of minutes there.Here we go again,OH noes.
 
It is amazing the number of Verizon users who get 'better' reception on their phones than they do on the AT&T phones and service THEY HAVE NEVER USED!?
 
I cannot think of 1 single reason anyone would want AT&T, and if you still have AT&T, I would assume you are either an uniformed consumer who doesn't know any better, or you are waiting on your contract to expire. Hope you never have an issue that requires you to talk with customer service at AT&T. It is even worse than their phone service, can you believe that?
 
>>"Unlike AT&T, Verizon doesn't resort to crying and filing lawsuits."

I guess we've already forgotten about the laughable cyber-squatting lawsuits Verizon was filing a few years back. As if they were ever interested in verizonsucks.com. Both companies stink.
 
"Unlike Verizon, AT&T's 3G network lets wireless customers simultaneously talk and surf the web or do e-mail."

idk about u guys, but i cant simultaneously talk and surf the web at the same time
 
I am with AT&T right now and it is horrible, their prices are not competitive, I use to be with Sprint/Nextel and had better service because Sprint realized people were upset...

Yesterday the Sprint reps had a big 4G hoopla in front of best buy with their netbooks and in NC they only have 3 markets on 4g (I am in one of them) and they could not even get their netbooks to get a reliable connection on their 4G network.

I asked them what type of bandwidth I am suppose to get on 4G and they did not even know... I told them I was getting 20 with RR Turbo and they asked why I need that much....

Maybe 10g will be worth it and it will have world wide coverage with no black outs...
 
This Past weekend, my Wife and Step-Daughter went for vist to South carolina. They Left from out house in Duluth, Georgia to McCormick South Carolina (about 135 mines one way) and proceeded to get lost using outdate Yahoo maps. MY wife uses and AT&T Nokia phone and my Step-Daughter uses T-Mobil Phone unknown. Neither could get a connection. According to my Wifes cousin the only Cell Phones that work are Verizon. Well this morning we are all going Verizon call they have a map for that. AT&T you suck and, my wife uses this phone only for emergency use. Well if it don' work 35 miles over the Georia border what good is it.
