Yes, in some cases they deserve it(like how bad they lock down the iphone). AT&Ts supposed "3G" may not be as wide, but does anyone look at the fact that AT&T has gone on an upgrade path that requires new radios and all. UMTS is way superior to EVDO. However, Verizon's speed upgrades to EVDO do not require hardware upgrades at the sites and is backward compatible with older CDMA technology phones. Only upgrades that may be needed is backhaul, but I think VZW claimed to have enough already when they were upgrading. AT&Ts technology is not going to realize its full potential until the buildout is more complete. Some areas it's already fantastic. I can get about 3.3 mbit on speed tests 50 miles east of here(a well built-out 3G area). UMTS also allows simultaneous voice and data. Not to mention it has a future upgrade path that AT&T plans to use. Verizon will be going through some of this soon as they switch to LTE. That is, running 2 networks at the same time in order to build out new technology that requires a full hardware upgrade. We'll see if their LTE coverage starts any better vs the 3G AT&T has had in these earlier days of UMTS use in the states. Yes, it's a fair comparison because Verizon will then have to do what AT&T has to do-make a full hardware upgrade to the sites. |

AT&T's 3G is faster in uncongested areas; I've seen 2 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up with an aircard. However their network tends to be congested.
If we want to go by fastest 3G network, T-Mobile as of last night takes the cake. They're now universally using HSPA 7.2, so folks can get 5 Mbps download speeds as long as you're connected to a tower with enough backhaul. Then again, T-Mo's 3G coverage is rather pathetic at the moment.
If you want the best speed x coverage solution, Verizon wins at this point |

??? As far as I can tell VZ and AT&T have very similar pricing structures. Verizon is actually better on non-smartphones with data and such I think. |

Were they not proposing an 80 MB/month limit at Verizon Wireless not too long ago for dumbphones? In this case, AT&T would win hands down as they nor Sprint have made such an idiotic proposal. |

kudos:2 | To my knowledge Verizon didn't do that. They have 25MB and 75MB plans, but you can still get a "Connect" plan (I think it's connect, maybe it's select) with unlimited messaging and data. |

Verizon is not my Jesus provider.

T-Mobile is a bit cheaper, and sprint a bit cheaper than T-Mobile. |
