Well verizon may be better in coverage and all, well actually that depends on were you live. Over here in los angeles at&t works exactly the same as verizon coverage wise, I know because my wife has verizon and I have at&t. Only advantage is verizon has more LTE coverage. But 3G wise at&ts 3G is much faster than verizons slow evdo rev A. My wife can never get more than 1.5 mbps on her verizon droid charge on 3G. While I'm getting 4-7 mbps on my at&t atrix on 3G. The only reason we have an at&t account is because we go to mexico a lot and verizon is crap in mexico half of the time it doesn't work at all while at&t roams into telcel mexico and has coverage everywhere and u even get 3G so u can still enjoy them fast speeds while roaming in mexico. While verizon on the other hand totally craps out and the only times it finds a signal its only a crappy 1X signal.

AT&T is faster though, and Verizon rolled out LTE faster. But AT&T has HSPA+ plus 3G plus soon to be LTE

Not everyone has 2GB or even 4GB. I have a grandfathered Unlimited. I only started with AT&T in March 2011.

Also not everyone needs over 2GB. Have faster speeds shorten you wait and doesn't automatically lead to over usage.

My wife is on a 200MB plan and never goes over 50MB. Many people use wife and only want the confronts of data on the go.

damn mistype. Your welcome on the humor.


Yesterday I dumped my SGS2 for the HTC Vivid. "4G" HSPA+ is much faster on the vivid. I now get 7-10MB down and 1-2MB up. That is more than fast enough for me.

Exactly, I never thought it would matter, but look at me now, using it every day.

Umm Verizon's LTE does allow voice and data at the same time.

Well, since I'm posting this on my Droid Charge while listening to my buddy in Oregon ramble aimlessly during a phone call (Phonearena is a good distraction, eh?), I'm fairly sure you're covered with VZW. No wifi connection out here, anyway. Unless VZW is letting me make the phone call on some bizarre network I'm not familiar with... I'm on LTE. ;D

Ummmm verizon 3G (CDMA) cant talk and surf at the same time. Verizon 4G (LTE) can.

place your speeds for the people that dont believe how fast it really is.

fastest i got yesterday was 30Mbps.easily.and that was right out the box.Upload was 12.32Mbps.

when LTE was brand new and no one was using it on VZW its was that fast. Wait till more people start switching to LTE and you'll see those speeds drop...
