I picked up the "new" iPad last night. I went with AT&T mostly because that's who my phone is with. I need to go swap mine out due to a small chip in the back panel. I figured I'd see if anyone had any insight on whether I should stay with AT&T or go with Verizon.

The coverage maps look pretty even. Any advice from those who have tries both would be appreciated.

Thanks!
 
I got Verizon. I can always pop my AT&T SIM in it for HSPA+ data service if I want.

Oh, and even though I get 3-4 bars of (supposedly) 3G signal in my office, it's SLOOOOOW as heck. Not sure what's going on. That cell might be saturated?? This was just one more reason for me to go Verizon (although I think that AT&T's LTE service in my office is ok.....but it's the principal of the matter).
 
I just read some impressive speeds in the "Speedtest" thread for AT&T in North Dallas. I will probably just stick with AT&T if they are still in stock.
