Personally, I hope 23% go off the ATT network to VZW, for two reasons

1. It will help the ATT network, no one denys that ATT was not ready, this will help the network by far, though I never understood, how iPhone users have so much issue and people on BB/Android don't standing right next to each other.

2. It will force ATTs hand to finally be competitive again, not for nothing they need to stop acting like second class service and start acting like a first tier provider.

miacol, ATT has had years to fix the problem, but instead they would rather keep the money instead of upgrading the network. Tmobile has surpassed them in coverage. They actually have more 4g than ATT has 3g. ATT just got voted worst carrier of the big 4. Time to wake up.. lol.

Great for you, I'm sure that there are a lot of AT&T users who never have a problem with their reception, otherwise they''d have all moved on to different carriers. I can tell you from personal experience that I tried to switch to AT&T from Verizon for the iphone and in a short 6 mile drive from my house to one of my restaurants I dropped a call 5 times! So be realistic, not everyone is out to bash AT&T it just depends on your local coverage.

Try a different phone. The iPhone always drops calls. It won't be an different on Verizon.
It's the hardware, not the network.

its not the hardware. i had a 3G for a year and a half and never had any trouble AT ALL. then i moved 20 miles down the road and didnt get service at my new home, my new job or a new friends home. switched to vzw and got full bars at all 3 locations. it differs from place to place, but around here, verizon's coverage is far superior.

I agree with you. I have AT&T and their service is better than Verizon's where I live. AT&T's network is blazing fast. When I was on Verizon I felt like 3G was more like dial-up, even when I had a Android device. People like to bash AT&T because they're trying to act like the media and take stabs at anything they can.

Verizon 3G = dial-up lol

so hawk.. just a question, how can you say its a better phone when u admit it doesnt work well as a phone?

just curious, because that made no sence. sounds like blind fanboyism.

way to throw ATT talking points. useless ATT talking points. how often does anyone actually use that? i have that feature now and i think ive used it once in a year while i was waiting on an obnoxiously long hold. u talk and websurf (if you can keep signal), everyone else can just be happy knowing that the phone works everywhere.

Wow, you seem to really hate AT&T..curious, but did something happen in your life, something life-changing that made you so bitter towards them. I have had both VERIZON and AT&T and both have been pretty solid...

less people on the network=less revenue for att!!!

if theres no money, how are they going to finance a better network? (4G)

Hey spineless. Did you notice how in the last Consumer Report survey all the CDMA carriers were rated higher than the GSM companies? And ATT was dead last. LAST! I guess not everyone is impressed with talking and surfing at the same time. And can you REALLY talk and surf if your calls keep dropping? I'm just saying...
