Has anyone here have seen an iPhone 5 on 3G? I've seen mine go to E, but never to 3G. I thought it only shows 4G.
 
That is what sucks with Verizon, if you go outside 3G range, you immediately hit dial-up speeds, where as AT&T has a nice robust EDGE network to fallback to which offers up to 4x-5x dial-up speeds.

The times I drop below 3G are pretty rare unless I'm traveling, so it's not a huge deal.
 
Yeah, I've hit AT&T's EDGE network maybe once or twice, and it wasn't unbearable, to be honest. It was about the speed of my friend's iPhone 5 on 3G, which I thought was funny.
 
AT&T Edge is comparable to Sprints 3G in many areas. Also AT&T doesn't have very much Edge only areas left. Most places at least have 3G now
