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 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/iphone-gets-announced-for-verizon/256371)._
