You must be in a rare area where Verizon is faster and has better coverage.

Re: ...

I wouldn't say they have better coverage, but they are faster in my area (Herndon, Virginia). At least they were when I tested my Sprint USB with my friend's VZW PCMCIA card.. That and from what I understand USB is generally faster on VZW than PCMCIA.

I didn't know the result was the opposite in other parts of the country. Whereabouts have you experienced the opposite?

Re: ...

Sprint also roams on Alltel EVDO while Verizon does not. In the end, Sprint/Alltel has more EVDO coverage than Verizon.

I'm in the Northwest Indiana area. I have both Verizon and Sprint EVDO coverage at my house, and much of the surrounding areas. My boss's Verizon connection averages in the 800's down, mine 1100 - 1200.
