Verizon's 3G "Map For That" Campaign Continues

[JMcEntegart]

Verizon has been releasing so many commercials based on comparing Verizon's 3G coverage to AT&T's that we seem to have missed one somewhere along the way.

I like the headless version, at least I don't have to hear him talk...

If AT&T's "better 3G experience" over Verizon is Luke Wilson's talking head, I'll have to pass on that.

It seems like a rule in advertising, those who advertise the most need to advertise the most because they can't rely on the quality of their product to sell itself. So they have to spend a ton of dough brainwashing people into thinking their awful product is great and they need to buy it.

@trevorvdw: There is one other reason- to legitimize your product to a bunch of already brainwashed people (Pepsi in the 80s - 90s). I'm not an apple hater but there are a bunch of people who would buy a turd in a box if it had an apple logo on it. Verizon's commercials have a purpose- to point out to the already brainwashed masses that while the iPhone is cool- AT&T sucks. AT&T on the other hand is doing exactly what you pointed out.

Actually I think the Droid appeals to straight males who like tech far more than the Iphone, which is an apple product. Apple is the "I know nothing about tech I'm a chick/metrosexual male brand" BTW

god verizon "Map for that" is beginning to become like "Hi i'm a mac, and i'm a pc" ads - its lame and boring.

@Luke Wilson ad

If you assume that both 'downloads' are at a constant rate and both started from the bottom at the same time, which I'm sure is the point, then it is technically impossible for those 2 downloads to be at the same place when the ad starts. The Verizon side would barely be at Wilson's knees by the time the AT&T side finished.

Bad science is bad.

Funny how I didn't name any company but people assumed I was talking about Verizon. Makes you think.

 

[derek2006]

Anyone else notice on the headless commercial that the AT&T guy already had a lead on the Verizon one when the commercial started?

[citation][nom]soldier37[/nom]I get 3G coverage with my 3GS Iphone 32gb just fine maxed out at a 100 mile radius all the time, Iphone haters can kiss it! Verizon is a chic and homo network, lol. They cater to both with their phone designs. So meh.[/citation]

I think you are confused, Verizon doesn't have the iPhone...

It must just be you - she was quite lively when we were there. NAS-TAY.

Fast doesn't mean shit when your service is ranked lowest in the country.

 

[Guest]

I have a phone on At&T and a Verizon phone. I fly all over the country and BY FAR AT&T service is clearly inferior for me....maybe not for you.

I just want the best service at the best price, and BTW I think the Verizon ads are funny but the At&T come up short. Hopefully AT&T will do something to better their network.

again. speed, if you can get a connection. i'd rather have slightly slower everywhere then slightly faster in a few spots.
