I dont care who is faster, but the VZW was previously loaded so there probably still had cached info

Unbelievable news from 3 days ago. Just wow! 🙄
You really thought Verizon wouldn't boost Verizon cell coverage with Verizon femto/microcells on the day of the Verizon event unveiling Verizon iPhone??? LMFAO 🙄🙄🙄

Nope. We will never see the best results. Like everyone says, reception is spotty for every carrier and is better in some than others for specific carriers. An ATT iPhone may outrun an Verizon iPhone in speed by someone else but then a Verizn fanboy will say that they were near a ATT tower. It will be inconclusive.
I'm a Verizon fanboy and this still makes me laugh.
You call the loading of one website on a single test a reliable indicator? Seriously, you give us all a bad name.

This is but one, of the many "Verizon iPhone Is The Best" bragging points we will see going forward. It is an opportunity for Apple et al, to glean as much positive press as possible. Further facilitating this is the fact that Verizon will receive a much better phone than the iP4 AT&T did.
At the end of the day as unfair as this is to iP4 owners, nothings ever fair, nor does Apple care. Sales will skyrocket & so will my Apple stock. That greatly offsets the fact that my iP4 is far less than up to Apples best work. Besides, my new Hi-Res MBP is just stellar.

This event was also in New York, the city where almost every single person owns a iPhone. New York is the worst place to do this test cause this the place where AT&T's network is getting hammered the hardest.
Not to mention I bet more than half the people there had AT&T iPhones running.

I actually did my speed test along with the video the day I saw it.. The verizon IPhone beat mines as well.. Mines loaded at the same speed as the one in the video.. But then I did a speed test afterwards.. And I was downloading at 2 mbps. Sooo
😀 I totally agree. I don't understand how CNET can call this a true speed test at a Verizon function. Unless CNET are Verizon fans too. But..as the reporter said, there will be additional tests in the future. Hopefully when millions of iphones are added to the network.
That's interesting.
Why was the New York Times in the site URL history before the page loaded on the Verizon iPhone and not the Att iPhone???
