Verizon's Maps are also wrong as well...

Verizon Wireless is also making misleading claims regarding their 3G Coverage.

I can tell you firsthand they do not have the "seamless coverage" they illustrate along the southeastern United States, especially along the coast.

The irony too is that in this market Verizon Wireless's 2G/Voice coverage is inferior to AT&T's as well.

Sure there are dead spots. Same out here in NE/SD. The maps are accurate inasmuch as the fine print says "maps contain areas of no service and are not a guarantee of service." But EVERY carrier's map has that disclaimer.

I'm not talking about "Dead Spots" , I'm talking there are 20 mile stretches out here where Verizon only has 1xRTT coverage.

And you know that how? Are you using a phone that has EVDO or still talking on that old LG VX400?

I'd be interested in knowing where that spot is. I consistently travel along the coast from places like Virginia Beach to Wilmington, NC, Charleston, Savannah, and down to Jacksonville and i've never had issues with vzw coverage. Either way, maps are accurate; otherwise, there would have been multiple lawsuits filed by vzw's competitors, consumer rights groups, and so forth. Additionally, wouldn't you think the FCC and/or FTC would have stepped in if there were any serious complaints or concerns about their map? Its impractical to think any map will show every mile marker on every road, but even AT&T says in their lawsuit, its not about vzw coverage map, its about vzw leading customers to think AT&T doesn't offer coverage beyond 3G.

20 miles! There are bigger spots than that on the Verizon map. No network is perfect. But Verizon's covers more area than any other provider. 3G and voice
