If/when Verizon gets the Iphone their network will have as many dropped calls as ATT, it has to do with the amount of data being downloaded over the network which Spiked when the Iphone launched.

as for the ads, Verizon is winning big at the moment.

I've had ATT for five or six years...I've probably had two or three legitimate "dropped" calls, and those were simply due to a weak signal.

The only other "issue" I've run into is trying to call someone after an OSU home game (which is an obvious capacity issue, so I'm not going to complain about that)

CMDA and GSM won't go away in the near future but once they figure out a standard for voice over LTE, the carriers will move to all LTE for voice and data.

I would love to know where you got that nugget of information. I kept on hearing people say the iPhone will come to VZW in 2009 and that didn't happen. There is a lot of things that would have to happen on both ends and it just isn't the technology holding things back.

That might be the case but ATT is not fixing the problems in two of their biggest markets (data usage), SF and NYC. ATT has dropped the ball.

Regardless of what NYC/SF residents tell you, they probably aren't priority to ATT. I'm sure ATT has bigger fish to fry.

But I'm content either way, I don't have a data plan and would probably be content with EDGE connectivity even if I did have one.

In the US, who is a bigger fish than SF and NYC? It is a black eye.

yeah, that initial response commercial with the guy throwing postcards all over the place was really weak. Just about every place he mentioned was a larger city or suburb of one. All of those places are probably already on the map of AT&T's coverage that Verizon has been showing in their commercials anyway

SF/NYC probably do amount to a lot of customers, but compared to the rest of their subscriber base I'm sure they are a fraction of their total customers
