verizons network isn't the largest. cingulars is if done by population covered i believe. alltel's claim is based on square mileage. everyone claims it if in the right circumstances (most all-digital coverage etc...)

Also Verizon has the largest network when measured in teeth per customer or TPC, when you check the TPC numbers of the major carriers Texas really drives down cingulars TPC numbers nationally.

Verizon doesn't have the largest network. Alltel has the largest OWNED network of any provider. Alltel and Verizon piggy-back off each other which is why Verizon's coverage is as big as Alltel's.

Alltel covers the most land area out of any network as of June 2006. Cingular has the most towers but it is by default because the 1900 mhz and gsm do not cover as large an area as CDMA at 850. Most towers does not equal biggest network. Although I believe cingular is in the running for population covered (big cities). As are VZW and Sprint.

You do know that we now use 850 in 80% of our network. Now how covers the most ?
Alltel does have good rural coverage but only in 11 states
...

I think that 80% figure is a bit high, but yes I did know that you used 850 as well.

And Alltel is in 36 states. All of which Alltel covers better then Cingular with the exception of CA, OK (toss up), IL, Southern TX, KY, RI, WV (mountains may make it a toss up). When Cingular starts with network wide WCDMA that is pretty much the only time that will cover an area better then Alltel does where the two both have licenses IMO.

Keep in mind Cingular's coverage map includes raoming partners, without that, you would see why Alltel has a larger network area wise.

If you have so much coverage why not so many customers ? hmmmm

No offense, but we already discussed this. Cingular covers much more population/people, that is the only reason. It's quite simple actually.

They are the largest network area wise. They cover more of the U.S. then any other carrier.
