Did you order an AT&T or VERIZON iPad?

Bought ATT because I was hoping my unlimited ipad1 data plan will be grandfathered. Sveralother threads seem to confirm that is the case, so I guess I made a good choice.
While I never come close to even hitting 2 gb, for some reason I still like the concept.

I have AT&T w/unlimited data on my IPad 1, so I stayed with it. But ,y work phone is a IPhone 4S with tethering, so I have the best of both when needed.

I ordered a verizon. Which is a change for me as I have always went with ATT on both iPads and iPhones. However im driving to Florida for a few weeks on march 23rd as I do every year and literally EVERY year I have NO SERVICE in the southern states. Plus I figure the verizon LTE coverage map is much better then att. lets hope verizon is honest about it. As the ATT map says we have 4g HSPA+ where I live and im yet to get over 5mb/s (which was only once) most of the time I get 2-3mb/s which is close enough to verizons 3g.
That's surprising to me. ATT is usually preferred in the midwest and south (where I live). I've never had any trouble with my iPhone on ATT honestly, very fast network speeds and good coverage (again, in the south where I live). So I went with ATT for my first iPad.
Big Red, my iphone and ipad 2 are with them.
Does anyone know if when 4G isn't available. does it go back into 3G like the iPad 2 uses?

- Bluetooth 4.0 technology
- Wi-Fi + 4G for AT&T model: LTE (700, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
- Wi-Fi + 4G for Verizon model: LTE (700 MHz); CDMA EV-DO Rev. A (800, 1900 MHz); UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

It will, but Verizon's 3G is slower than AT&T's 3G.
whenever I drive thru NC,SC,GA ATT is pretty spotty. alot of the time i have no service or if i have service its like 1 bar and super slow.
AT&T has been excellent in my area. Having already used the LTE service, I'm very happy with coverage & speed.
I had to go with Verizon because the AT&T coverage in Iowa is just pitiful. For some reason South Dakota has better At&T coverage than Iowa.
I know you "coasters" are laughing and wondering what the difference between the two would be, but Iowa's population is about 4 times that of South Dakota.

I went with AT&T with my "New iPad" ordered tonight for two basic reasons. It's who I have my iPhone with, and that they offer a 15$ "one month" option as their lowest tier rather than the 30$ option for the lowest on Verizon. In my case I'll only sign on to 4G (3G with my iPad 1) for when I go out of town for just a few days.

I live in Tampa one of AT&T's best cities and Verizon is still the best coverage in the area. My friend was happy with them aswell untill he traveled once and lets just say he is a Red Man now.
I got the AT&T version, i'm hoping they have some coverage around Philly and Delaware. I know they cover Baltimore in LTE, but I don't know around me.
I do know that Verizons 3g is slow, but they have better LTE coverage than AT&T.
Hope I made the right choice, my iPhone is AT&T also.

Oh really? I drove from Oklahoma to Florida last summer down the coastal highway and I didn't have any problems! Interesting.
