AT&T and Verizon Verdict Expected Later Today

[livingcrazy]

I really don't know why market focuses on people living in 4 letter states... AT&T does have enough 3G coverage in places where I visit... LA, Vegas, NYC, etc... When I happen to visit not to be mentioned 4 letter states and less than popular tourist destinations in the united states I expect for my coverage to simply suck.. just as it does in any other 3rd world country. I am not saying 4 letter states are not important, but I think AT&T is focusing on a wrong thing... focus on how to improve our existing coverage in popular areas of the US, I really don't care about all the coverage in between... we all know iphone and any other "good" smart phone isn't popular in those areas... and no I am not afraid to say it.

Wait you mean opening a cheap beer won't make dozens of scantily clad women suddenly appear? Or that wearing shoes with a swoosh will make me run faster and jump 30'? Or that using salad dressing (rather than mayo) won't turn me into a cool hipster?

I feel so betrayed.

Except that verizon is trying to sell their 2.5G network as 3G. Still misleading. Try dumping all of the network traffic that AT&T has to carry on the verizon network and watch it die a horrible, twiching, sparking death. AT&T isn't perfect, neither is Verizon, but I do think the comparisons are unfair because the networks are not quite comparable from a speed/capacity/technology perspective. They'll get away with it anyway because there is a very subjective definition of what 3G means, and most people aren't well enough educated to tell the difference.

[citation][nom]marsax73[/nom]AT&T should get their 3G coverage up to snuff...end of story. EDGE sucks a$$! I can barely send a text out let alone surfing the net.[/citation]

Except for the fact that the data speed available on your phone has nothing to do with text messaging. I am all for the AT&T hate(as their 3G coverage is total shit), but you need to use facts in your arguments.

All aboard the AT&T hate train.....they claim more bars? I claim no bars most of the time...cant wait to drop AT&T.

In Wisconsin, AT&T coverage is terrible outside any major city or major interstate route. Verizon, on the other hand, covers quite a bit of the areas AT&T doesn't (and all the areas AT&T DOES cover). That's with data coverage, I run mail and internet apps in those areas with Verizon that AT&T can't even reach with phone service.

When was the last time your AT&T iPhone was able to get 1.7mbps/1mpbs? I just checked my speeds on my Samsung droid and was pulling those number..Also add that Verizon will be the first to launch 4g network...GG

I've seen my brother's iPhone get 1.65 mbps when I only was getting 600 on my Droid. It's all about where you are. At my house I get 1.45 on Verizon. Not as fast as ATT, but I don't have as many dropped calls either.

No your not afraid to say it, Your just an idiot. I live in Nebraska and at&t only covers lincoln and omaha. I sell Alltel about to be Verizon, and I can tell you At&t doesnt sell dick in thier markets. The reason NO reception in the rest of the state. Also I sell about 50percent smartphones on average. You pompus ass. So because you live in a well populated area you are better than everyone else? Fah-Q.

You should call someone an idiot if you can't tell the different between your and you're.
