Those happened in Q1, not in Q2. Unless your referring to the same thing ATT did when it Cingular and ATT merged April 26, 2005. I guess it was OK for them to buy there way to the #1 carrier at the time. I guess it was ok when they bought 1.7 million subscribers from Dobson cellular on November 15th, 2007. But it's not ok for Verizon to buy less than 14 Million total? I guess ATT's (formerly cingulars" 46million subscriber deal) is far inferior and is unfair.

I wish that would happen, they are seriously jamming up the network.

If 10 million people are jamming up your network, you're on the wrong network! Mifi w/LTE FTW!!!

Fortunately, the majority of VZW's users are not kids (because we fortunately don't have the iPhone, hopefully we never will), and that could account for a portion of the added reliability of the network. However, that could also be weighed down by all business users as well.

Actually, over 80% of the Iphone users are over 21. And they don't jam up the network. Also, VZW LTE is FTL.

80% of all iPhone users are over 21 because you have to be 18 to have an account. Narrows the odds a little don't you think?

the iphone doesnt slow down atts network...its the network itself that is just not very well built. hence the slowest of the four largest us carriers. and att thinks says it is the fastest. a bit hypocritical isnt it????
