i love my Iphone 4 on AT&T. I dont have internet or a phone at home so I dont mind paying the $94 dollars a month. Within the last two months I went from having full edge service at my house to having full 3G service. Not sure what changed… ---

They should of waited another 1-2 years until the LTE network is at least covering 50% of their service area. Verizons current 3g network is a joke for any kind of “high” speed/bandwidth. ATT coverage is anything but spotty anymore, they just need to work on their high speed date coverage, which they have been, even locally! Verizon made a HUGE deal about this at the release. Literally every blog post I saw had them saying “We are ready for the increased traffic.” When I had all four companies in my office to pitch their data services, Verizon’s annual cost for their network was like double (at least) what everyone else was spending. Sprint was second, followed by AT&T and T-Mobile. This was 3 years ago though. I got trumped before which is why I was using AT&T data cards up to about 6 months ago. I’m closing my AT&T account at the end of the month. > [@Girl Scout Cookies](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/girl-scout-cookies/38612/52): > > Well would you look at that. :rofl ---

Verizon only = AT&T before you hit the data cap. After that AT&T starts charging you in the ass. Their coverage is shit too, but that’s a well known fact. I don’t see many android users switching over to the Iphone. Some, but not most. Most of the people who do will be on stock roms/unrooted. It’ll be the people that aren’t taking advantage of what they have. Iphones are cool but they seriously lack the potential that android phones have in the way of customization and control over the phone. This is a good move for Verizon as long as they don’t decide to implement a system similar to AT&T’s data setup. ---

After that AT&T starts charging you in the ass. Their coverage is shit too, but that’s a well known fact. that kinda thing is why i hate AT&T. they blamed customers for something they didnt account for. and I REALLY hate how they(at least used to) advertise “unlimted” data plans. if u look up that word in the dictionary, it doesnt have “up to 8 gigabytes” written anywhere. unlimited means just that, its got no limit, but when you put a cap on it, its no longer unlimited. shoulda called it “high usage” to be more accurate. ---

Yeah well they also started calling their network 4g before the standard was redfined to include LTE and HSPA+. AT&T is some shady shit… What I’m curious about is why Verizon’s stock has dropped over two dollars in the last week. You’d think that it would be going up with and announcement like this. Unfortunately the drop tells me that they might be reconsidering their data plan structure and we might see a change in their billing. If that happens, I won’t be happy. ---
