It is no joke where I am at. I have seen and registered speeds up to 2megs. The funny thing here is everyone bashes ATT for its network and now that it seems that they are finally going to do something about it people are still bashing it. Let them do what they say they are going to do and once it is done then judge. VZ may have the best coverage (not in my area, no 3G either, ATT 5 bars where ever I go and 3G)being the fact they have never changed its network type where ATT has done it twice. We will see what VZ service will be like once they change from CDMA to LTE
