This is why AT&T is taking their time.

Even on my iPhone 4 with HSPA 7.2, speeds are great.

With my AT&T LTE iPad on "4G", I've seen speeds upto 12-13Mbps. We don't need the speed as bad as Sprint and Verizon does.

Yeah whatever. At&t just last month finally decided we were worthy of 3G service. Something Verizon has provided for at least 4 years now. And within a few months we should have 4G. I doubt we even get at&t's fake 4G within 5 years. Oh and at&t only has about 40% of the county covered in 3G. Verizon is about 95%.

Verizon still doesn't think we're worthy of LTE speeds, even though we're in a city of 178,000 people just minutes from Los Angeles and get pitful speeds on their over-crowded 3G network. AT&T's 3G rollout was very rough, but they have generally been able to keep up with demand and speeds are acceptable for most things. AT&T's 3G and Verizon's 3G are very different animals.

Verizon is great where LTE is available, but powerspec88 See Profile is spot on with his comment.

Right now I can only get ~8Mbps, but still faster than my iPhone. Here is a old one.

Perfect. Proof that HSPA+ is going to do AT&T well.

However, AT&T's HSPA isn't "fast enough" and Verizon's 3G doesn't need to be faster.

My GNex w/ 2 bars of LTE. Check the time, btw!


3G


While I agree, Verizon's 3G isn't as fast as AT&T's faux-4G. However, they have more 3G coverage (and AT&T's 3G/faux 4G isn't that fast everywhere!) and they have astronomically more coverage with their LTE than AT&T.

Personally, I think Verizon is on the right path, and I hope they keep it up. AT&T isn't bad (they're actually great here in Texas) but they're falling behind in my opinion.

In my area I can get 8 to 9 Mbps on AT&T 3G
