"Verizon Wireless is on track to post another record quarter of net additions driven by back-to-school and family-plan additions, according to a report from Merrill Lynch. Based on more than 80 store visits in five markets, the firm said it raised its third-quarter net customer addition guidance for Verizon Wireless from 1.8 million subscribers to 1.95 million subscribers, and at the same time, lowered its churn estimates from 1.3 percent to1.2 percent.
"Verizon Wireless continues to deliver a strong and consistent quality message," noted Merrill Lynch telecommunications analyst David Janazzo. "Verizon Wireless stores stress that the carrier invests more in its network than any of its competitors."

Keep up the excuses. They truly amuse me. When has Verizon done anything but LEAD the industry in EVERYTHING that matters on a quarterly basis???? And when did Sprint hit the 50 million customer mark like Cingular??? Oh, wait, it hasn't happened, and WON'T!!!!! Not at the rate they are losing customers to Verizon and Cingular, and even T-Mobile.

It is that way because most of us have experience with Sprint. And their customer service DOES suck. And they are way behind on their data services (EVDO).

Most people I know have paid thier ETF with sprint at one time or another due to their horrible customer service.

Sprint Nextel will be just fine.I have been hearing here in my area that Cingular is loosing customers left and right because of the horrible coverage and the way they have treated the former ATT customers.I am a customer and do not sell any service.I am here to share my experience and thus far Sprint has been excellent as well as their customer service.I am here to express myopinion and not to act like a 3 year old on the play ground saying silly things.

I'm glad you have had a good experience, but don't expect it to last for long.

You are correct, Cingular is losing customers, and they aren't adding very many to replace those customers either. Things seem to be getting back to the way they...

Not sure why you think Sprint Nextel is behind in data services. They have EV-DO on the way, at least they are not dead last in the data race like T-Mo.

Agreed. They are way ahead of T-Mobile, but when compared to VZW and Cingular, they are way behind VZW and a little behind Cingular (that won't stay that way for long).

No, they don't. The fastest I have ever gotten on EDGE is about 200kbps (Nokia 6230). I have gotten speeds up to 1mbps on EVDO(LG VX-8000 and VX-8100 and Moto E815). Now are you going to try to tell me they are the same?

Actually there was a time when Verizon was not the preverbial "leader". It was prior to 2000 before 5 companies had to be bought out to make any kind of head way in the wireless arena. So yes Verizon is a good company, but they had a bit of a head start on the other carriers. Once analog is shut down, and the other companies get a little steam in their engines, there wont be a whole lot of difference between the big three. Just like with Dish and Cable, once analog gets shut down and they start charging all their customers to have a digital box for each TV there will be a massive migration to dish.

Just calm down, go back to your Verizon forum and have fun. Its funny when fan boys call others out but never notice it themselves.

No doubt. Are either of you getting rich off the profits of either company? I think not. You both act like just because You use a service offered by a particular carrier that makes you superior to all who don't. So to anyone that thinks or acts this way. GET A LIFE.

agreed! like I previously said. REAL successful companies prove themselves without all this little groupies trying to make some huge noise about them. Who are they trying to convince? If they need to go through all this "drama" every other day just to prove VZW is better than whoever apparently they might not be after all... whatever! like I said get over it already ;)
