Re: Frivolous Lawsuit Have you seen the commercial with the elves? "Good luck browsing the web with that one", they say while looking at an AT&T device. It's a blatant lie, designed to make people think only Verizon can deliver the internet to your wireless device. I spent the other night eating at a french restaurant, in full view of the George Washington Bridge, unable to browse the Internet because AT&T's network couldn't handle it. In certain markets, that claim is perfectly true. Fix the problems. |

| My GF has an Iphone. I can't count the number of times she not only can't get online but can't even make a phone call.
I moved 50 company phones from AT&T last year and couldn't be happier. They never even attempted to keep our business when I called to authorize the switch. |

[/BQUOTE :Which is why I am enjoying all of this. I want my 3G service to work anywhere in the U.S., since according to AT&T I have a national package. --

In certain markets, that claim is perfectly true. Fix the problems. I recently flew from North Carolina to Utah with 2 x iPhones and a Verizon Data Card. Even on layovers in larger cities like Dallas, Verizon had coverage and worked flawlessly while our iPhones sputtered along, dropping calls and pulling up webpages at a glacial speed.
I think AT&T's savior from these complaints is going to be 850MHz.

| Last time I was in an area covered by the "red" map but not the "blue" map, AT&T's 2G speeds were faster than Verizon's 3G speeds. Does the map account for that? |

That is the exception and not the norm. We already know that AT&T provides the best service in many areas. The point is that they provide HORRIBLE service in a large portion of the country while they advertise that they have the fastest and best 3G network. That claim is true only if you cherry-pick the few areas where they are on top of their network.

He is in Southern California, which has the 850MHz overlay, thus isn't subject to the capacity issues the rest of the country is. So you are correct, he is the exception, not the norm.
If you look at posts like his, most people who say they have good AT&T service and subpar Verizon service tend to be in Southern California or one of the few areas that have had the 850MHz spectrum turned on.

Yup, well, its only 50 lines... its better for them to have a customer leave than to have a continuously P.O.'d customer, IMO.
I have AT&T service in CA that works, but I don't have an iPhone.
