Verizon Responds to AT&T Suit, Calls It 'Meritless'

waiting for loading loading loading for webpages to load on edge! hahahaha

all i need is my Droid! haha
that old junk iphone is getting boring now!

I heard/read that Verizon's 3G map includes its slower data network, Rev. O... I believe it's called that. I've never had a Verizon phone because quite honestly they've never had any phones worth my interest. Granted I considered them when they got the slew of Messaging devices... I'm not a tech-nerd, biased employee or critic, what I am is just a normal consumer who has AT&T and has loved the service I got. This ad has caught my attention and I'm curious.

What about that other data network I have on my phone, EDGE... I keep reading that it is comparable, even faster than some of the network that Verizon uses... Is there any truth to this?

First of all, I work for a retailer that sells verizon, at&t, and sprint. Here is the true breakdown.
62% of at&t's total US coverage is 3g
47% of verizon total US coverage is 3g
99% of sprint's total US Coverage is 3g, and 14% of their coverage is 4g compatable.

What is even worse is when I was in katanaing PA, I was getting more roaming verizon coverage then my fiance was with her verizon phone, my pre had 5 bars roaming her ENv2 had 3. At&t has more 3g coverage and it is faster, however verizon has more 2g coverage.

Verizon is being slammed by the fed government on 2 occasions.
1.) Claiming their entire map is 3g(which is false) and that the fact their map has 1 solid color indicating full coverage when they do not. Falsifyin...

...And send a letter of such.

It is said that a business should thank their competition more than their friends.

A friend will mostly hold back insults or constructive criticism in respect to not hurt your feelings. A competitor will not. They will be relentless and go out of their way to bring you down. If not for a competitor, A business would become lazy. Nothing would go forward.

That is exactly what has happened here.

AT&T has sat on any advancements to benefit their subscribers. What they have successfully done is completely relied on their friends(New and current subscribers for the iphone) and essentially perceived this as a compliment for their services and being the best. Verizon has detected this and zoomed in on the ...

ATT missed a golden opportunity to take revenue from iPhone to expand 3G coverage and strengthen infrastructure.
What a shame... 🤭

In this corner a company with far less 3g coverage sporting an Iphone, and in this corner a company with boring phones trying to catch up with the iphone but has great 3g coverage. Now America Are You Ready.... I said Are You Ready? Let's Get Ready Tooooooo Rumble...! 😎

"AT&T failed to invest adequately in the necessary infrastructure to expand its 3G coverage to support its growth in smartphone business, and the usefulness of its service to smartphone users has suffered accordingly"

Verizon Wireless just admitted they're mixing up 3G coverage vs. 3G quality.

This is 2003 all over for Verizon Wireless and they did the same thing when the launched Push to Talk with Nextel. Verizon ads were all about the bigger push to talk coverage are compared to Nextel. This was true, but with most people needing or using push to talk were already covered by Nextel, and their service was much better in the push to talk category. In the end I think Verizon was the one that got burned.


VZW at this point (Nov 2009) does have more of its towers transmitting EV-DO Rev. A ready than AT&T's WCDMA (HDPA) network.

Bottom line is this is an Ad gimmick on VZW's part. Will they get burned time will only tell. 😉

All the frustration I've ever had dealing with them is gone....
This will have positive outcomes for everyone .....really. At&t will have to improve their network now or risk losing customers. Verizon will be forced to keep chugging on and keep their network ahead of the game.
