I travel every where in the U.S. And I mean everywhere. We dont fly, we drive. We work in the mountains and in cities. Out of the 4 guys on our crew 2 have Vz 1 has U.S Cellular and the other has AT@T. As far as 3g goes, Vz is dominate hands down. As far as general service goes, the Vz and U.S cellular phones have reception 98% of the time. I cant even begin to explain how bad the guy with AT@T's service is. Especially if we're in small towns or in the mountains. I'd only feel comfortable using ATT as a carrier if they paid me. Another goofy thing is that the U.S Cellular phone always have service when the Vz phone doesn't. Think it might have something to do with the bandwidth but im no tech freak. Point being is that AT@T blows ass unless you live in one of the major cities. Kind of like how that idiot only names off the big cities when you see the att commercial with him throwing the postcards and explaining where ATT has coverage.

I agree, I tried AT&T and it sucked! I live in a major city too. Having dropped calls, static, and calls not connecting with full 3G service wasn't worth the money. I went back to Verizon where my money was being spent on something that worked. Another thing I didn't like, I had to restart my phone everyday to get my phone to refresh its data connection. On Verizon you nerver have to restart a phone just to use data. AT&T isn't the best. Some AT&T, iPhone fanboy must have wrote that article.

this wasn't a comparison between US carriers, it's a comparison between global carriers, so yes, at&t, the 'home of dropped calls' w/e, having the best wireless service in the world is news.
