AT&T Takes Verizon to Task Over Advertising

not where i live, its different for everyone...dont be so opinionated

we're not talking specific regions. ATT is suing verizon for a national add.

Nationwide, ATT's eg footprint is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than verizon's. So while they may be faster, that is meaningless for a majority of people who don't have 3g coverage with ATT but they do with Verizon.

I'm not being opinionated, but I not the context of the news article.

I totally agree! I think that ATT should just accept the fact that they don't have as good service as Verizon. My cousin lives in CT, and she has ATT and has no service whatsoever, in the area where she lives. She can't even make calls, much less have any kind of internet service. My aunt on the other hand has Verizon, and needless to say she has service. ATT is always saying that they do have the largest network even world wide, one of my friends has ATT and visited Italy and she didn't have service at all and she had the world international traveler that supposedly allows her to roam anywhere in the world where they have gsm service. What a Lie! I think that ATT instead of wasting time in trying to sue other companies should worry about th...

Where in Ct does your cousin live? My mother lives in Waterbury, and works in Middletown, I have her on my acct, she doesn't complain about poor service. And I have 1 other person on my account, who lives in Shelton and works in Ansonia, she doesn't complain about her service.

So where in Ct does your cousin live?

I've been with AT&T for 7.5yrs.

PWND!!!!!

It's not like AT&T is sueing for money. They're taking the 3G claim to the FCC because VZW does not use a "TRUE" 3G network. Just like VZW and other carriers took AT&T to the FCC for their "Fewest Dropped Calls" claim over a year ago.

It a matter of FACT. VZW claims to have a 3G network yet for all those customers using VZWs "3G" network... can you simultaneously be on a call and browse the web??? How about engage a Video Call??? Those are two examples of what a "TRUE" 3G network is capable of? VZW is 2.5G at best... Technically that is!

Since you spew your misinformation across multiple posts, I will correct you across multiple posts...

EV-DO is 3G. The ITU set the IMT-2000 standard, which defines 3G. IMT-2000 certifies both W-CDMA & EV-DO, among other airlinks, as 3G.

So, please sit down & shut up until you are more knowledgeable. Of course, if sales reps truly understood the technology they sell, then they would not be stuck as sales reps. They would be engineers.

Where I live (Las Vegas) it seems all 4 carriers have a lot of customers. I hear Verizon has a lot of customers in the southeast part of the country.

Hmm.....once AGAIN, because apparently I have to reiterate myself several times to all the Verizon lovers.

I have a Nokia E71x /w AT&T.
I have great coverage in the 75-mile range of places I go.
I get 3g in every single place I go.
I don't drop calls.
My internet speeds are good.
And I have yet to find a dead spot, even on the back roads.

Please stop telling me what kind of signal I receive, because I am NOT on 2g.

Congratulations, you get to learn about the fallacy of composition: your AT&T 3G coverage experience implies nothing necessarily about the AT&T 3G coverage experiences of others or the AT&T 3G network as a whole.

In actuality, your experience is one data point, only one data point. And it stands against the bulk of available data, which sh...

Is it that hard to believe that MAYBE, just MAYBE the 2nd-largest cell phone provider in the US just might have decent signal?

Also, may I point out that AT&T only became 2nd place in customers when Verizon bought Alltel. If AT&T is this horrible, why is it that I don't know anyone on AT&T who complains constantly about their service, yet others I know that have Verizon don't get the same level of service?
