Connersville, IN | Slow data So this is why my iPhone is so slow.. They have no plans or money to fix their 3G network... This is like AT&T when they introduced the iPhone.
Great.... Thanks Verizon...

It's slow because it's on 3G, which VZW's 3G is one of the slowest in the country (but also largest in terms of coverage).
The day the iPhone was released, I upgraded from my old BB curve to a Moto 4G Bionic. The 4G speeds are worth more to me than a cup of the Apple kool-aid.
And, fwiw, Verizon has stated publicly that they are not planning on upgrading their 3G network.
RTFA, the losses stem from legacy landline costs and subsidies to Apple. |

If you want an iPhone, get AT&T. If you want Verizon, get a DROID with 4G LTE. |

apple did not include a 4g radio in the iphone but they did put in at&t 4g like radio. that is why the verizon one is slower than at&t iphone, nothing to do with verizon. |

EARTH | Because AT&T is using the standard UMTS network, Verizon never upgraded to UMTS, they skipped a generation and went right to LTE. The AT&T iPhone is not real 4G, it's HSPA+. It's still pretty awesome though... |

the fact that Verizon's 3G network doesn't support simultaneous voice and data is precisely why they are abandoning it and going LTE exclusively. This is a big reason they are ahead of AT&T in their deployment of LTE - they simply had to. |

| That has nothing to do with anything. The Verizon network supports simultaneous voice and data through SVDO, but the iPhone's chipset does not.
It has everything to do with spectral efficiency and greenfield spectrum that is needed to increase the overall capacity of the network. |

Your iPhone is so slow because it's a damn iPhone.
If you want a competent tech product avoid the Cult of Apple like the plague. |

EARTH | Hey, they are just as fast as anything else around here... they are running on the fastest network... AT&T's HSPA+. It just depends on what neck of the woods you are in. The phone itself is really fast too... |

In my opinion its sad they are wasting thier time and resources on this DIGITAL GARBAGE!!!!!
Verizon is an excellent LANDLINE company (Or they used to be) and its sad they are putting more and more effort into this crap thats not as good as thier analogue landline service has ever been... |

EARTH | I hope you're being sarcastic. It doesn't matter if it's the best landline in the world... it's a product that has negative future growth potential, no matter how "good" it is. |

Re: Slow data Really? Data is slow because "it's an iPhone"?
That's not how it works. |
