AT&T Sues Verizon for 'Map for That' Ads
Aw, AT&T gonna cry?
Verizon bent over backwards to deploy their voice and data network. Now they have the most reliable and largest 3G network. They deserve to be #1. AT&T continues to slowly progress their network and now they want to sue Verizon for all the hard work they done. BULL CRAP! 😡
If I work hard in college, get a big degree, and get a wonderful high-paying job...is it right for someone to sue me for being more successful? NO! Is it misleading to say I make more money that some people? NO!
(By the way, I'm not a Dr. or anything, just making a point)
AT&T, please grow out of your diapers and wake up to the fact that until you make your network bigger, nobody is going to care how much you sue or what phones you have.
Verizon was only...

Verizon 3G Maps DO NOT include 1X Coverage!!!
Although 1x is technically 3G, Verizon does not include that in any 3G/Broadband coverage maps. Verizon's 3G maps indicate EVDO Rev. A coverage, and nothing more. All you have to do is go check out their maps on the website and see for yourself. Verizon's 3G coverage is far superior in quantity and quality, to that of AT&T's. Fact is fact. No frivolous lawsuit is going to change that. for AT&T to have been at the top, and now at number 2...it's downright sad that their 3G coverage is so lacking...not even going to address the speeds of it, where it does exist. That's a whole other ballgame. The point is...AT&T sucks...and that's why it will begin to shrink soon...as Verizon is about to head over that 90 million mark...and Sprint begins...

This should stop all those people saying verizon is lying on their coverage maps.
ATT is saying that their customers will assume that they have NO coverage, even though they will still have data/voice coverage where there is an edge network, but it...

By the way...arguing over the maps showing true 3G coverage is pointless. Obviously they are correct, or AT&T would be suing over that. If you don't understand that, get out your iphone...there's an app for that!
Do you want to know who's guilty of false advertising? There's a map for that...
Verizon paints their entire coverage map red leading people to beleive that they have full service with 3g speeds everywhere. Even in areas that you get 0-1 bars with dial up data speeds.
This is the case at my house, my mom's and my gf's parents. You constantly drop calls at all their homes, and in a lot of cases the coverage is so poor that your phone won't even ring if someone calls, and data speeds are slower than dial up. But if you look on Verizon's coverage map all those places are all red with no white spots in sight, leading you to assume full coverage with 3g.
It's time someone put an end to Verizon's crap.

to toggle 3g on their map online you have to look at their "broadband access" map, not coverage map. The red map online shows voice coverage.
And no carrier guarantees coverage in houses.

1x vs 1xEv-Do vs Rev A vs HSDPA vs HSUPA vs HSPA maybe vs Edge
Hai gaiz,
I wonder what the map is actually based on? I remember back in the day we used to hear a lot about 1x and Rev. A, but is this map to assume Verizon's entire network is Rev. A? Or do they still count areas with 1x as 3G (which it technically is) as opposed to excluding EDGE on the at&t map?
I guess this is a convoluted post asking this:
(these are all generalities based on speed/performance)
1x = EDGE ?
Rev. A = HSDPA ?
However 1x is considered 3G because it was rolled out technically as the networks third generation, where as most GSM carriers just upped the class of EDGE.
In other words, "IDK MY BFF JILL"

Exactly! Verizon is displaying its ENTIRE 3G coverage which is 1x AND EV-DO REV A. And only AT&T's HSDPA (NOT Edge). I think the suit is a good idea on AT&T's part. Maybe Verizon will blink?

Anything that isn't 1X on Verizon Wireless' network is upgraded to Rev A. And I think that what seems to throw off a lot of people when comparing the maps on the commercial to those on Verizon Wireless' Web site is the difference in color. On Verizon ...

apparently ATT is scared
so, it's absolutely obvious that Verizon has the bigger 3G coverage map across the USA.
what ATT is trying to do is denounce (all be it anecdotally) Verizon's dominion over the whole ordeal.
it's kind of like having two siblings, that are both fighting to be the "#1 child"
the irony here is that VERIZON already has that title, and ATT is whining about it.
there is NO way this lawsuit can go anywhere. the entire ad states "3G" coverage. nothing to do with voice coverage.
ATT is sad. it's true, they know their 3G network sucks in comparison. hell I think T-Mobile's 3G network is almost if not larger by now then ATT...
what you really need to take from this is three things
#1. - att is scared because they see that Ve...
