| Who cares about Verizon Normally I wouldn't care about bashing other networks for more customers, but AT&T *no matter how crappy their network is* still has a more viable technology. CDMA, EVDO REV.A, all of that is dead technology, if they want to advance, it's all aobut LTE. Unless Verizon fixes the technological gap and provides DECENT SMART PHONE CHOICES AT REASONABLE PRICES W/ GOOD ETF, then I will never switch.
Then you gotta remember Verizon has Vodafone backing them up, AT&T is the remnants of the former baby bells.
Verizon should just stop and give up on life already, none of my family will ever have a verizon phone. | |

| Verizon is already piloting LTE, something AT&T wont start to deploy until i believe another poster said 2011, also they're releasing decent smartphones, the droid being one example, which they couldn't even lock down / didn't lock down, and the ETF makes sense, its not fair that someone could walk into a verizon store pickup a droid for $199, cancel the plan, pay another $175, so $~375, then sell it as unlocked / no contract for $500 on ebay and make a profit. I'm surprised AT&T didn't come up with the idea first.
Verizon's FAR from perfect, but they keep expanding and improving their already superior network at a far greater pace than AT&T... That's what really counts in all of this, that verizon is doing more right here right now to make their network better and better, and at&ts spending money too, but they have to play catch-up now, and are spending less than verizon... how does that make any business sense?
I think the gap is going to keep growing until AT&T looses the iPhone and customers start leaving. Then maybe they'll take a hint. | |

Well, since LTE is still rather new and not really deployed.. how in the word can you even say that?? CDMA REV A was supposed to be a great tech too... but when it came out, it had limitations.. we're not 100% sure of the quarks of LTE yet.. it could have problems too..
Honestly, there's nothing wrong with CDMA at the moment.. and it CAN be made where voice and data can work at the same time if they wanted to do upgrades with it.. I mean, yes, the next technology should be better than the next.. but, it's yet to be "seen"...
As for "ATT" being remnants of former baby bells.. umm.. really? You do realize that Verizon is remnants of other pieced together networks too.. Just becuase Vodafone is backing them up means nothing in the larger scheme of things. | |
