Re: Frivolous Lawsuit

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.
