...and everywhere in between

network woes in NYC and SF and "everywhere in between the two cities". Doesn't Vega's admission come too little too late? I can't stand AT&T. I was with them for way too long before jumping to Verizon and I haven't had an issue since. I just have to laugh my ass off when I see Luke Wilson make a fool of himself in those commercials because my 3G has always been faster and in more places with Verizon than AT&T, mainly because I COULD NEVER GET A 3G CONNECTION WITH ATT, and I live just south of Charlotte, travel along I-77 and I-95 throughout the entire Southeast US and everywhere I've been, AT&T sucks.

Because I do business in Charlotte and I can tell you right now AT&T's coverage beats the crap out of Verizon's in the city.

Its pretty obvious hes telling his experience. ATT blew, he tried Verizon, and now he loves the stablity alot more. Whats wrong with that? Just like 50,000 people in Consumer Reports. Reporting the same issue. Ive sold ATT and saw the problems first hand. I sell Verizon now. I know the difference. Verizon is better. Everyone knows it except IPhone fan boys that are blinded.

I've never had a problem with AT&T's services. I've got a friend with Verizon and the differences are remarkable...In favor of AT&T. There was an issue with my friends bill and by the time she was done with Verizon's customer service she was so PO'd she was crying. I've never had any hell'n hearthache w/AT&T.

And no, I don't have an iphone.

So you sell Verizon now. If you've seen the job advertisements to work at a Verizon store they read like used car salesmen. I've got active accounts with AT&T and Sprint, and had an account with VZW.

Verizon service was horrible. Let me explain horrible- horrible is being unable to pull up Google's home page because of a dropped data connection. Horrible is the endless billing errors VZW never got right (Sprint is just as bad.) Horrible is having to stand outside to take a call (where AT&T ironically has full bars with no problems.) Horrible is dealing with some slimy VZW rep who is making the return difficult. Horrible is VZW refusing to admit the coverage map is wrong, and that they incorrectly re-newed my contract without my consent....

Lol, 🤣 Verizon and ATT have the exact same prices, minutes and promotions minus ATT's rollover. What 'rape'? Sure, looks like your one of the millions that had a billing problem. Every carrier does. Verizon also has top notch customer service and continues to lead in that category. Among Consumer Reports, you can go check JD Power over the years. Heck, even Time Magazine just named the Android "device of the year". Sorry you got emo over your Verizon experience, but you arguing a lost battle son.

Verizon Wireless is obviously staffed by individuals as competent as yourself. Or are you going to break the news to all of those people you falsely told have "truly unlimited" data plans and Verizon totally allows tethering? I wonder if you'll cover their $350.00 ETF, which, by the way, is double AT&T's. =D.

P.S. Even Time Magazine said "Even if it isn't as good as the iPhone." OUCH. Year 3 for Verizon selling the inferior product my friend.

You fail at reading comprehension so let me break it down to a elementary level for you. Im speaking of the $30 data plans for cellular phones required by PDA's, Blackberries, Droids etc., That is Unlimited. IF you add a Broadband Access package to a Verizon phone to 'tether' with your phone, its another $30 extra which is 5 gigs a month allowance. A Aircard is 5 gigs a month for all carriers also.

But Using PDANET app to tether, USING the basic $30 Unlimited Data package, you do not need to add any features with Verizon or with ATT or any other carrier for that matter. There is no $30 on top for Broadband Access.

So, in summary, its Free, and Unlimited, and Verizon is not putting restrictions or calling a foul with a 'violation o...

Funny, since when is the LG Versa an "Advanced Device" 🙄

You can keep breaking it down, but you're flat-out wrong. PDANet goes directly against the Verizon Wireless terms of usage YOU agreed to which specifically state you may NOT tether with the $30.00/$45.00 "Unlimited" smartphone data plans.

Yep, and Verizon has some great tasting kool-aid compared to the **** AT&T has served up for years. I've traveled almost everywhere in the U.S. while I was in the Army and AT&T blows everywhere I have ever been. I'd rather pay a premium to have what I feel is the best service of the major three providers because the two previous providers I had absolutely sucked. My Touch Pro 2 is unlocked and I can do unlimited tethering with it for the $30 a month that i'm paying, and it works great everywhere I travel here in the South. AT&T, not so much. I'm not saying they're perfect because I do feel nickel and dimed with them, but at least I am getting the service that I paid for when I felt like I was just throwing money away with AT&T and even with ...

You're using an HTC touch pro? No offense but you don't even need a crappy network to get dropped calls with that something that crappy.

That aside, I live for the most part in the South and rural areas aside (though in some cases included), that's where AT&T is the best provider. You can't seriously tell me in cities such as Atlanta VZW's coverage is anywhere near as thorough or reliable.

LOLLLLLL ATT was rated last in Atlanta son for January's Consumer Reports issue that was just released. Verizon was first...even Sprint was rated ahead of ATT so cry about it. 50,000 plus surveyed cant be wrong!!!!

Please educate yourself before you flash your ATT fan boy stuff on any site..thanks ...buh bye!!
