1 edit | Re: The truth still hurts I agree that Verizon has much more coverage than AT&T, but the Verizon map is far from accurate. I travel between NW GA, and NE TN in rural areas, and many that are covered in solid red I barely get 1 bar of 1x service. And there are some spots that I don't get any 1x service at all. And it's all in bold red color on their map. | |

| Those are not identical maps. The region between Reno and Las Vegas along the Nevada-California border are not the same, as an obvious difference. Also, they claim to be using a resolution of 1 square mile, so I'm guessing that as long as they can reach any part of that square mile, it gets filled in.
Regardless, the results are striking, and on equal footing, Verizon clearly has a much broader coverage area than AT&T with their 3G service. In metro areas, Verizon outpaced AT&T in recent performance tests. The lawsuit is near frivolous. | |

| AT&T isn't saying either map is inaccurate all they are saying is it makes consumers believe that you can not get service outside 3G areas.
So what you are saying is, even though AT&T admits there is much less coverage than Verizon, you believe there is more and that they have better 3G coverage?
I dislike both companies, but how do you deny Verizon has better 3G coverage when the companies involved aren't disputing it? | |

| In all seriousness, AT&T has dominated my area with adding 5+ cell sites in the past few years. Granted, Verizon has 3G here where AT&T doesn't. There's an entire stretch of highway that goes on for 10+ miles where Verizon has absolutely no service whatsoever and AT&T has full bars.

I have Cingular for about a month a few years back and could not use my phone most places my work took me.

3 edits | Waste of Ad dollars that could do way more damage elsewhere Instead of maps that only apply to those living in the sticks (since all the major carriers have coverage in major metros) and stealth fighters dropping pokemon balls, VZ should actually be showing us what Droid does.
VZ claims of largest 3G coverage, AT&T's claim of fastest 3G network; people simply don't care, it doesn't compute. Consumers focus on the device first and the consequences of the network second. It doesn't matter in the least that the VZ ad is 100% accurate, it just isn't going to have the same effect as selling people on the devices themselves.
If you want to sell a device you have to show people the device, not the network. If they want to sell units in the 4th quarter, bombard TV with ads and product placement showing Moto & HTC Droid devices in action. Not a day goes by that you don't see a Crackberry or iPhone commercial as well as product placement. That is what it takes to push handsets. | |

Call quality has been fine forever now.
And if you think Verizon would be able to handle the influx of HEAVY data users you're mistaken. The iPhone has seen an influx of data the likes of which no US carrier has seen before.

| Coverage Maps From Verizon's website:
"These Coverage Locator maps are not a guarantee of coverage and may contain areas with no service. These maps reflect a depiction of predicted and approximate wireless coverage of the Verizon Wireless Network and the network of other carriers. The coverage areas shown do not guarantee service availability, and may include locations with limited or no coverage. Even within a coverage area, there are many factors, including a customer's equipment, terrain, and proximity to buildings, foliage, and weather that may impact service. An all-digital device will not operate or be able to make 911 calls when digital service is not available. Some of the coverage area includes networks run by other carriers; some of the coverage depicted is based on their information and public sources and we cannot ensure its accuracy."
Using that logic, Verizon could probably color the entire U.S. red if they wanted to. Near my area (the San Fernando Valley and parts north), I put in an address and almost every square inch of the Valley and hills north of it, are red. I know for a fact their service doesn't work all around my area. While I'm no fan of either company, I feel their adds are very simplistic and misleading. | |

The Achilles Heal of the iPhone is the AT&T network or lack thereof. There are areas of the city where a steady AT&T signal is non-existent, even for a voice only connection. A smartphone is of no use if you can't use the phone. I guess all those apps come in handy so as to kill the time while you travel to a better part of the city looking for a signal. | |

1 edit | Verizon is greedy and desperate for more customers Verizon wants more customers how do you think they are going to get them - from other carriers. if they are so desperate look at all the cdma wireless carriers they bought out only SPRINT is left that uses cdma same like verizon. There is speculation that verizon wants to buy SPRINT it would gain 30 to 40 million more customers. Verizon can buy SPRINT and it works because they use the same cdma technology. But here is the truth verizon may have more 3g data coverage than att but lets see verizons voice coverage map and compare that to ATT's voice coverage map. ATT has more and better voice coverage than Verizon. lets see if Verizon can make an ad about voice coverage maps. I dare them. I hope ATT makes an ad that compares their voice coverage map to Verizons voice coverage map. remember voice coverage is more important to me than data. because if you have a phone and cant make a call its useless. data is secondary when it comes to voice. ATT has better voice voice coverage than Verizon in the ENTIRE USA. just look at all the reviews of verizon customers and att customers. i dont recommend one over the other. you pick who you want i am simply stating the facts. people who want better data coverage switch to VERIZON. Those who care more about better voice coverage switch to ATT. just compare and look at both voice coverage maps. dont look at 3g coverage map because that is just data not voice coverage. | |

I can assure you that it the UMTS/CDMA hybrid version of the iPhone becomes available, AT&T will lose market share to Verizon, as there are many unhappy iPhone users on AT&T.
»www.appleinsider.com/articles/09···010.html
Working in sales in a seven state midwest territory, I can't necessarily agree with you about voice coverage. For example, Driving between Fargo, ND and Jamestown, ND, Verizon has better voice coverage. At the end of the day, there is not one clear winner, each person's needs are different. As I posted earlier, I was a happy GSM user on the AT&T network, only to see it degrade in my area (Chicago) to where having simple voice service was problematic. In sales, your phone HAS to work. | |

Even AT&T's own coverage map is substantially inferior to verizon's native coverage!
Furthermore, CDMA (esp. at 800MHz) has a substantial advantage in footprint per deployed cell, and building penetration. Pretty much every comprehensive independent review ever conducted places verizon in the lead for voice service in the US.

Stop attacking everybody and assuming we "need a hobby" when, as far as I've seen, you've already told two people this. | |

Biloxi, MS | Verizon "Verizon clearly wants to do a better job at sopping up wireless subscribers during the traditionally very busy fourth quarter."
The best way to do this is to offer reasonable voice/data plans and quit locking their hardware. | |

| Hilarious I think the ads are great. I don't use either of these guys, but I still love the VZ ads. I worked for Papa Johns back int he days of the lawsuits and countersuits with Pizza Hut ove the "Better Ingredients" slogan. This is starting to remind me of that. I just wish Dan Hesse had thought of this, Sprints 3g coverage is only slightly smaller than VZ's, if they want to get back in the game they need to be more aggressive than VZ. Put Android 2.0 on the Hero or the Moment (which I have and LOVE) and I think either one would be a better phone than the Droid.

| AT&T's 3G in NYC I dunno about other cities, but performance-wise, 3G in NYC has been OK for me. In Lower Manhattan (near Battery Park), I often hit 1.6-1.9 Mbit downloads when I tether. Simultaneous voice and data tends to be a very nice feature as well. However, I have noticed that 3G is VERY unstable on the 7 train when entering Queens. One moment, I get horrid latency and constant buffering when streaming videos using the Youtube app on my phone, another moment, I'm flying. Probably something related to lack of capacity at those towers/no 850 Mhz overlay yet.

| Population coverage? What does that blue map cover, 95% of the population? Last time I visited a red-only area (very rare), the AT&T 2G reception was great, and faster than the faint VZ 3G signal. VZ should focus on how you can install any app at all without their approval on their Android phones (or it at least appeared so with the demo unit at their store). | |
