Short version:

I've bounced between these two a couple times. Verizon, +/- building penetration for me, LTE spread, VoLTE upcoming, network reliability. AT&T, no text concatenation issues, seemingly more consistent non-Roman character support, more consistent voice quality.

Was previously told by Verizon that my contract date would be modified to allow contract pre-order of the iPhone 6. Turns out that nope, the first rep was mistaken. Must pay to upgrade.

I'm on an iPhone 5.

Rootmetrics has not tested my city but a major city an hour away, formerly won by AT&T, was last won by Verizon. Most people around here seem to be on Verizon as well.

Just curious: all things considered, with the iPhone 6 changes -- voice over Wi-Fi, VoLTE upcoming, broader LTE support anyway -- would anyone actually take this as a chance to get on an AT&T Next plan? Do anything else different?

I have a Verizon iPhone 6 preordered, full retail but on contract (ordered through the Apple Store app early this AM), but could always cancel it.
