Why everyone digs on AT&T!!!
I have this theory about why people dig on AT&T... Pretty much its like when someone has something nicer or better then you, you resolve to making them look as bad as possible just like in a school yard play ground. So basically all these people that try and make AT&T look bad and Verizon better need to get a life. Every report out there shows that they are pretty much the same thing. People talking trash about the 3G network and all that stuff need to do better job on finding info. Just give it up they are the same company and AT&T need Verizon just like Verizon needs AT&T... They maybe different networks but without each other what would we have SPRINT??? Come on for reals people drop it... 🙂
...
Sprint is too easy to dig on, their stocks are only 3 bucks a share, whereas AT&T and Verizon are still 20+ a share.
...
Of all the reasons to say AT&T is better than Sprint you pick that one. You really don't know much about stock do you? On a side note, Verizon Wireless is not a publicly traded company. Just thought you should know.

Indeed, however Verizon Wireless is not publicly traded, as I stated. Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodaphone.

I was talking to my co-worker about this the other day. The whole AT&T vs. Verizon thing is really just an extension of that competitive sports mentality.
You could take most of these threads and change the names to rival football teams and it would read the same as a thread on ESPN forums. 🤣
GO PANTH...I MEAN AT&T! 😎

maybe if at&t had atleast half of the footprint of 3g as verizon does, it might be a somewhat viable company. they marketed a phone with features that could really only be utilized in an extremely small fraction of cities nationwide. perhaps, if they had delayed the lauch of said phone until the network was up to par, people wouldn't rip on them.
ps. not a fanboy. i go with what works when i need it to. if at&t was a superior company, i would be with them atm.

There is no way Verizon has a bigger 3G network then at&t. Over 75% of verizons coverage is analog. If you look at the difference between Verizons digital and analog coverage its scary. When Verizon shows you their coverage they have the entire map covered in red. But when you break it down to analog and digital there is a vast difference. At&t is an all digital network. 3G for at&t is in every major market and spreading everywhere. I don't think you have a grasp on how it works. sorry buddy.
...
Are you kidding me! Verizon's network isn't 75% analog! If they even have analog its very small, so small you have to look for it. Maybe you don't understand Verizon's coverage map found on their website. The blue stands for EV-DO (3G) the dark green is their digital network (voice, txt, non-high speed data) the light green is Extended Network which is coverage from other CDMA carriers. White is no coverage. Besides, pretty much all their phones are ALL DIGITAL. So how could a digital phone work on an analog network? It can't. So compair the coverage map on Verizon's network, the blue covers most of their network and yes they have the largest 3G network. Even at&t can't deny that. The red part on their map is where you should be abl...

CrZyDrVr your a friken idiot.
Verizon 75% Analog WTF! Are you liveing in the dark ages or something? The Analog networks went the way of TDMA if you even know what that is. Pifft!
The call quality of Verizon is much better then ATT. I am forced to use ATT when I go home to the USA. Untill ATT goes to WCDMA or LTE it wont be that good. They have mashed together 850Mhz and 1900Mhz from buying so many other networks.
If you read there fine print when they say More Bars in More places they are refering to world wide GSM use. NOT local USA GSM use. Note on there web site they have taken down that slogan since it was WRONG!

Your an idiot... I have worked for at&t for the last four years. I know what your talking about when you say, CDMA and TDMA... At&t has the largest all digital network in the US. GSM has the most ability to be upgraded far past CDMA. Saying you won't like at&t till the go to WCDMA is like saying you won't shower till there is a women President. It won't happen...
You are right they do have the most Global coverage but they also have the largest stateside coverage as well... GSM every where is made up of 850, 900, 1800, and 1900. So they are smart for buying up other networks. Verizon has very little digital coverage. They might have digital coverage for voice calls and texting but check out this link and click on Enhanced Services See be...

Thank you CrZyDrVr!!!! Thats what im talking about, you know what your talking about! I love GSM because its more flexible in phones and the sim card makes it so much convience for your numbers. I switched from t-mobile to AT&T and its true about coverage. Much more digital and better coverage, even though t-mobile is GSM, they lack there coverage. I been with verizon too, and I hate CDMA phones. Verizon does have coverage in rural areas and coverage, but they lack there digital, which i could not access the net or email. AT&T is by far the most digital coverage, everywhere i go i get voice and data. AT&T!!!!
...
its safe to say that at&t has better service in some areas then verizon does. also works the other way around. both carriers provide excellent service in every major city for obvious reasons.
as far as on a verizon standpoint, it is all digital coverage as far as the plans work. there is extended coverage, but its basically the same as digital coverage. its not considered analog any longer.
little story for you...
two sales reps were riding the same bus. one from at&t and one from verizon. they didnt know they were both sales reps. the verizon rep asks the at&t guy about his iphone and how he likes it. says its absolutely amazing, blazing fast internet speeds and really works for him. he asks the verizon rep about his phone and he...

WOW... Even though this is a very long post I believe that most of it is crap. You can't even say verizon didn't take the iphone. Apple never offered the iphone to them for the sole reason of verizon being CDMA. Apple wanted gsm for global compatibility.
At&t pushes so much product because they have so many customers. You can't say either company focuses on one area of service. They all focus on everything. There is no one company that would say we don't care about service we just want to sell as many units as possible.
As far as paying apple to use the phone, thats crap. Apple is just a smart company and knows how much money at&t is going to make off the purchase of each iphone with the monthly reoccurring cost. So they wrote into t...

i feel that the next link is a fair representation of vzw standpoint on customer satisfaction. it is in regards to business customers, but with both at&t and vzw, business customers make up a HUGE portion of business.

there was one posted for standard customer satisfaction, but still looking for it.
the at&t rep was using the latest iphone. he was talking up the 3g network and its speeds.

Oh my gosh some of you don't know cell technology very well. Verizon's network is NOT mostly analog, its DIGITAL! CDMA stands for Code Division Multiple Access, meaning its a spread-spectrum frequency which is digital. AMPS is the analog network, which they don't use anymore. How could people think they have an analog network when the phones they sell on their network is digital? Yes some of the map shows analog but its very few places and more likely belongs to another carrier. The Extended Service (light green) is coverage from OTHER CARRIERS. Dark green is Verizon's network, which is digital. And if you look at the 3G coverage you can't possibly think that EV-DO is analog, its high-speed. And all this GSM is better isn't true eit...

His credibility went out the window he mentioned the word ANALOG. I see some one likes his coffee with a Side of GSM in it.
As for me I sell GSM phones for Vodafone UK. The call quality is quite good but does not compair to a CDMA phone. I also use to sell Verizon, Sprin and OMFG! you guessed it ATT. So year I know what im fricken talking about.
As for Analog network they only exist in less then 5% of a carryers total market area. I hope your not telling people that VZW is anlog casue that is pure BS.
I see crazy man up there is just a brain washed ATT salesman. But hey good on ya at least your selling some one something.

go to both websites and look at 3g coverage maps. unless your deaf dumb and colorblind you would have to be insane to honestly say att has the same size 3g coverage as vzw
sorry, you loose credibility

I wouldn't really say that people dig on a company just because they have more customers or whatever. I currently have AT&T because of the iPhone 3G, but before I got that in June, I had Verizon for two years. And I can quite honestly say, that Verizon is the better company. I'm basing this on coverage and call quality. With AT&T, I have tons of coverage gaps, dropped calls, and distorted calls. With Verizon, I had none of those things. It always sounded like I was talking on a landline telephone. My family (who all has AT&T as well) has similar experiences with them, so it's not my iPhone as so many would like to blame it on. I can quite honestly say, that after my agreement is up with AT&T, that I will switch my entire family over to Veriz...

So whats the big deal I use AT&T when I am in the states. I prefer to use T-Mob but Vodafone has a roaming agrement with AT&T.
On a pure GSM base I think T-Mobile network quality is better then AT&T in the Boston Area.
However AT&T network is biger on a nation base.
Verizon Vs AT&T I dont buy the hype. Like I tell people buy what will work best for you. In a few year Verizon will be LTE and might even change there name to Vodafone USA so its moot point right now.
Compairing Verizon and AT&T is like asking people do they drink coke or pepsi more. They are basicly the same but every one has there favorite.
