As my name suggests, I'm a VZW fan... and employee. But before completely disregarding my point because of this think about the different claims for all the carriers commercials...

AT&T - More Bars in More Places?
-that depends on your interpretation of bars. if it's straight out global coverage, well then that's false. Verizon Wireless has global coverage with their global phones (Storm, Tour, Samsung Reknown) in more places than AT&T. If you're talking about the actual bars on your cell phone... well whoop dee doo, everyone knows the bars are relatively useless as each manufacturer has different meters.

In Novarum's tests for us, Verizon Wireless demonstrated a good mix of speed and reliability. Across more than 20 testing locations in each of the 13 cities we tested, Verizon had an average download speed of 951 kbps. Verizon demonstrated good reliability, too; the network was available at a reasonable and uninterrupted speed in 89.8 percent of our tests.

Sprint's 3G network delivered a solid connection in 90.5 percent of our 13-city tests. Sprint's average download speed of 808 kbps across 13 cities wasn't flashy (at that speed, a 1MB file downloads in 10 seconds), but dependability is an important asset.
