Soon AT&T will be pulling the same number you said Verizon was pulling for you when AT&T gets flooded with LTE customers. Their time will come. Trust me.
Ok. Then HSPA+ speeds will only get faster and more people hop on LTE. AT&T wins both ways.

Both of these companies are basically equivalent. Comparing VZW to ATT and saying VZW is "raping" is pretty ridiculous. Their new "share" plans are virtually identical, just slight variations for very specific choices.You go ahead and take your 450 markets. You've obviously NEVER used HSPA+. My 10mbps that I can pull can hold a candle to your LTE, especially since its getting crowded pretty fast on Verizon. You also go right ahead and enjoy getting raped by Verizon with their highest wireless prices!!!
exactly. Just as pretending one company is magnanimous and giving is silly.Both of these companies are basically equivalent. Comparing VZW to ATT and saying VZW is "raping" is pretty ridiculous. Their new "share" plans are virtually identical, just slight variations for very specific choices.
Arguing about speeds is pointless, because it is highly dependant on where you use your phone. Not just what city, but specifically where in the city.
Verizon's cheapest Share Everything plan is only $10/month more than the cheapest AT&T individual voice/text/data plan that most people get.You also go right ahead and enjoy getting raped by Verizon with their highest wireless prices!!!

And once everyone migrates to LTE, 3G will be a lot faster than what it was before everyone jumped aboard the Verizon 3G service. Verizon wins both ways and to have an abundance amount of coverage and the fact it doesn't drop calls going from one tower to the next unlike GSM. Just makes it so much better. Gawd, Verizon rules the air perfectly
Actually have had AT&T as a carrier before and did an ETF to get off the service and join Verizon because where I work at the service sucks. I work at a local hospital and the signal doesn't even get through the building at all. Verizon is able to penetrate through the building wonderfully with no problems.Then its obvious you haven't used a GSM carrier in a long time. AT&T use to drop calls all the time. They have really evolved and are great in places they use to suck.
I only can compare the two by me, and Verizon is just awful.
This all reads like a football rivalry. You need a red V tattoo.And once everyone migrates to LTE, 3G will be a lot faster than what it was before everyone jumped aboard the Verizon 3G service.

I've never seen anything where Verizon throttles on LTE.According to this, only 3G is potentially throttled on Verizon, and LTE users are not affected by this policy.
I wonder if that is true for AT&T as well, and we are just talking about 3G.
I've never seen anything where Verizon throttles on LTE.
AT&T throttles at 5GB on LTE (vs. 3GB on 3G/4G).
If I didn't care about the price of my monthly bill, I would go to Verizon for sure.
It's actually 5 gigs for LTE Unlimited Plans on AT&T, they changed it when iPhone 5 came out.I used 11GB of data last month on my Verizon iPhone 5. Never heard a word from Verizon. Am on grandfathered unlimited.
Although under the court case they're not allowed to throttle LTE.
AT&T overall sucks. They're unlimited plan gets throttled at 3GB, they drop calls, and outlining areas are stuck on EDGE. Whereas Verizon has rock solid 3G in outlying areas and is less likely to drop calls. You can't tether unless you change to a tierd plan, you can't FaceTime unless your on a tierd plan (although this might change). AT&T is pushing their customers to tierd plans.
Just my thoughts.
Do you folks who adore verizon and have kept your unlimited plans stream?

And Verizon is kicking everyone off the unlimited Grandfather plan when you renew your contract.
Thanks. I think streaming on verizon would drive me NUTS. I DON'T stream and the lack of simultaneous voice/data drove me batty after a week. I switched right back to AT&T with (at that time) 3G service.I don't abuse it. I use FaceTime a lot more now. I have heard some people using 30-50 GB a month.
Paying an extra $450 for the phone hurt, but Verizon (for me) is solid all the way around. LTE is so fast loading pages.
I'll probably use 2-4 GB a month, slightly more than my 3G iPhone 4S.
Glad I have unlimited LTE with Verizon! I use 6-11GBs a month tethering my iPad, and I don't even stream anything.
Uh, doesn't the music stop anyway? So you can hear the call?I can't imagine streaming, and then having the music stop when I took a call.
Are you on the $30 tether plan? ($30 unlimited data + $30 tether). The old $20 tether plan had a 2GB max, but from what I read the $30 has no cap right?

I BET verizon will drastically change its policies when they can do simultaneous voice/data on iphone. I predict EVERYONE will ultimately be removed from unlimited plans. They have them because, like sprint, it's their ace in the hole. When playing fields are leveled, they will dump them. (And then AT&T will have to make a change to keep up).

I hope those folks using 30-50gb a month don't get used to it. I BET verizon will drastically change its policies when they can do simultaneous voice/data on iphone.

Perhaps. Dunno.
Again, I don't stream much, but the notion of everything stopping when you answer the phone is a deal breaker for me. I tried it. It didnt work for me.
I tried being on hold and surfing, and couldn't. I'd forgotten how much I do that.
Apple maps, while on the phone.
Sending a dropbox document to a colleague while talking to the colleague, then discussing said document...
Not receiving ANY emails while on long calls? Oy.
I need the two too much apparently. But then, it's my work phone.
Oh, sure.Perhaps. Dunno.
