Since then our internet is still prone to cut out randomly and sometimes when it rains, and the speed is still fairly slow compared to what we should be getting. @Dennis, the internet worked great for about a year, but after that any time it rained our internet would cut out. after months of telling my mom she needs to call at&t about it, she finally called them and they came out to fix it. apparently the cable wiring underground was completely torn apart and they said they weren’t even sure how we even had internet at all.

Verizon is horseshit! They are expensive ass hell and there 3G is slower than AT&T's. AT&T's 3G coverage might not be as good as Verizon's but it is faster. They also have very good coverage worldwide as in service not just 3G. So I don't understand why in the hell people spend soooo much money for service that is just as good as AT&T???

In the us I stick to CDMA.When I go to Europe, I get a cheap gsm prepaid, that simple.

"What's wrong PC?" "Oh, I've got that virus going around...you better stand back." "Nah, that's ok. I don't get viruses." If I had the money, I'd buy a mac just to let it get a virus and then sue the hell out of Apple for loss of private, sentimental, and irreplaceable data (arguably worth oh...maybe $1.5 million).

This isn't rocket science. Dude. look at the ad. it cleary states 5 times more 3G coverage not total coverage. This isn’t rocket science.

And those are their big 3g services currently. Sure the towers are not all theirs, but if they have access to the towers, and their customers can use them... it is a duck. Apple constantly puts out commercials about how the windows side of the world looks, but they never point out the times when windows does work. Does microsoft get their panties in a wad and sue because they didn't give every single bit on information in their ad? No, they write their own ad campaign. Which is exactly what ATT should do. But hey personally, I just feel sorry for people in West Virginia, they don't get any 3G coverage from anyone. @David, You are correct, the Verizon map in the commercial is not their 3g coverage, it is where their Broadband and V-cast coverage is.

And also verizon only put up their on coverage in the 3g map. They never used roaming area in their map since they already know they have by far the biggest network at of the big 4. http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/verizon-lte-rollout-to-be-as-close-to-all-at-once-as-possible/ David you are an idiot especially when Verizon is already said they start rolling out LTE early 2010 since they are the first LTE provider in the US and by far dominates the carrier market.

That verizon map is NOT their 3g coverage, it is them and all of their roaming partners and complete coverage. They do NOT have that much 3g everywhere and they will not be releasing 4g or LTE before the competition. Get the facts straight. They do have slightly more native 3g towers than at&t but not nearly as much ubiquitous coverage. at&t has every right to be pissed off at false advertising when the commercial suggest pretty strongly that if you have at&t you get no signal. False advertising. Ok seriously people, don’t post comments when you’re guessing. That verizon map is NOT their 3g coverage, it is them and all of their roaming partners and complete coverage.

On a side note about 4g, Sprint is already rolling out theirs. Yeah I looked again after I made my post and did a *hit the forehead* moment.
