Re: Blogosphere Bitches Wrong Again said by Karl Bode:Most are happy with AT&T Most are happy with Apple, but locked under long-term contract. That doesn't equate to "happy with AT&T." If anything it speaks to how exclusivity deals provide carriers with a lot of leeway to stink up the joint with no repercussions... I agree. The iPhone is nice but I'd much rather have it on Sprint or Verizon as I have had much better experiences with both of those carriers. AT&T is cheaper than Verizon though, so saving a bit of money helps ease the pain of their very, umm, inconsistent network. |

kudos:2 | Actually, AT&T is priced almost exactly the same as Verizon if you look at their plans. Except Verizon has a larger network, more customers, etc. |

All with data plans, unlimited text, and rollover. |

| Interesting. VZW relatively recently redid their plan structure so a 700-minute 3-line family plan with data and messaging runs about $140 per month. Granted, those aren't Sprint prices but if i"m not mistaken they actually compare favorably with the iPhone stuff. |

kudos:12 | We had the 1400 minute plan which was about $140. After a single data plan, txt, insurance, and taxes/fees it was consistently $260 a month. |

1 edit | Yeah, I've got my wife and myself on 1,400 minutes with unlimited SMS and data for less than $190....
I'll note that this price point comes with unlimited, free dropped calls and spotty 3G performance when trying to use Google maps in midtown. |

| And this can all be had for $60/month in Korea, with much better service. |

That is what cracks me up about the US cellphone market, it's so out of touch with the rest of the world. The value vs money is so skewed and made to screw people over and there is really nothing we can do. Law makers aren't going to look into it, they haven't looked into cable or a slew of other industries with this same kind of behavior because they all get paid off. I wish we had a much more open market when it comes to phones and the abilities to use the full functionality of the phone and network.
