3G Cell Coverage in USA - AT&T Versus Verizon Wireless

[wakerider017]

Dark blue is the 3G coverage. So no you wont get 3G, but hey you got wifi at home.

Ya I can read the map just fine, but I wanted someone who actually knows about AT&T 3G coverage to answer the question...

I highly doubt there is an exact line where 3G stops and I was wondering if I was close enough to pick it up.

To the OP,

I like the map. Thank you.

I had ATT when they first switched over to GSM, and it sucked for at least a year. I live in Cleveland and was traveling to Albany, NY. Once I was 15 miles outside of Cleveland, my phone only worked for 5 miles near Buffalo and then once I arrived in Albany.

So, I think the map matters. Maybe not to compare the brands, but see how ATT has more bars in more places....(in the world)

I have an iPhone, and hate ATT. My work phone is VZW and I have never dropped a call. My iPhone seems to do it daily.

I would take this with a grain of salt. AT&T announced this past February that they will be deploying 3G upgrades to an additional 1500 cell cites across the country.

They have not finished rolling out 3G

BTW this link is a more accurate map to find if you have 3g or not

Light Blue is: Lakes

AKA: You might get coverage, but we have no guarantees that your phone will work if you attempt to call from inside the lake.

it's the services 3g enables that consumers want.

What services are they? I think Verizon has some service that shows clips of TV shows... and move trailers... oh boy, I can't wait!

As much as they have plugged 3G in Europe, I have never seen ANYONE making a video phone call from their phone.... (another HUDGE service that people are clamoring for!)

You can beef up the speed all you want- without any content it makes it really pointless....
