| YMMV Depending on tower load, network configuration etc. there's a big YMMV here. The biggest ones being the HSPA networks, which don't have near the coverage of CDMA-based systems (Verizon+Alltel and Sprint). Verizon, so I've heard, does 1 Mbit down and 500k up. SPrint here is 1.3 Mbps down and 350k up form my direct experience. AT&T is EDGE (70 kbps). T-Mobile *might* be EDGE, or it might be GPRS. AT&T *should* have 3G here "by the end of the year". Nothing from T-Mobile. |

| Ive tried them all
Here near Lincolnton its:
AT&T - EDGE 150-200kbps
Verizon - No Service (0 bars)
Sprint - No Service (0 Bars)
Alltel - EVDO 600-750kbps (very weak signal 1-2 bars)
T-Mobile is GPRS not even worth it.
So I stay with AT&T, even though EDGE is slow at least its 4-5 bars while everyone else is crap. Although AT&T will probably never bring 3G here. |

| Wait...if you've got a 600-750 kbps Alltel signal wouldn't that be better than EDGE on AT&T? Also, since Alltel got bought by Verizon, you should be seeing better data coverage, since Verizon makes a crapload off of that and likes to parade "nation's largest 3G network" all over the place. |
