Re: Apple... Why? Verizon's network sucks as bad as AT&T and would also crush under the iPhone stress.
Verizon = NOTwork, don't buy into the brainwashing. |

join:2002-03-05 | I recently drove from VA to MO, and had my iPhone and laptop with Verizon aircard running much of the way. From the use I had on the road, I can say that Verizon had faster and more reliable connections most of the way, while my iPhone was stuck on AT&T's slow EDGE network much of trip.
This was sticking to major interstates the entire way.
While your experience may be different, mine indicated (to me, at least) that Verizon's data network was much better than AT&T's.
This is only part of the reason why next year I'm seriously thinking about ditching AT&T for either Verizon or Sprint.

The only thing that your example proves is that it was good in your area when you used it and on your little roadtrip. I am sure if you drove through at a bad time or when the network was having problems, you would be singing a different tune. The point here is that we should all be choosing a cell phone based on how it is in YOUR AREA. Just because it sucks in one area doesn't mean it sucks all around.
The AT&T network is great in my area, and thats why I have it and the Iphone.

I also travel quite frequently into western PA. AT&T's 3G footprint is quite lacking there outside of Pittsburgh and Erie, I believe. I can plug in my Verizon aircard and have high speed data in many places that AT&T just doesn't currently provide it.
In my case, Verizon apparently works better for me. Which is why I'm giving serious thought to moving my 5 lines away from them next year when the contracts expire. I love my iPhone, but first and foremost need it to give me access to high speed data in more places. "More bars in more places" from AT&T doesn't necessarily equate to better service or faster data.

Your "review" just proves out the 3g on your little roadtrip at the time you did it. Once again, just because "provider A" sucks doesn't make "provider A" suck nationwide, just in your area.
Now, you seem to understand that by stating that Verizon may be better for you and it probably will just based on your experience and area. Everyone should be choosing a provider and phone based on this, not just based on the Iphone. Whats the use of having an Iphone if you can't make a call or get it to work?

OUt where I live, AT&T drops calls a lot. Verizon does not. |
