http://www.suite101.com/content/att-versus-verizon-wireless--a-breakdown-a203922 Claim One: AT&T has the Fastest 3G Coverage *Debated.* 3G is the 3rd generation of standards for mobile telephones as defined by the International Telecommunication Union. It provides high-speed internet access and enhanced features to mobile phones all over the world. In all of its commercials, AT&T makes the bold claim that they have the fastest of any 3G network in America. However, independent research shows that that simply might not be the case. Claim Two: AT&T has a Larger Coverage Area than Verizon Wireless *True.* According to their commercials, AT&T has a larger service coverage area than Verizon Wireless, covering over 97% of Americans. This statement is completely true, although Verizon Wireless' coverage area is not much farther behind AT&T's. Verizon covers about 95% of Americans, which means about 6 million less people will get very good cell service with this company compared to AT&T, but that mostly applies to very rural and sparsely populated areas. *Claim Three:* *Verizon Wireless has a Larger 3G Coverage Area* *True.* Verizon Wireless does have 5-times more 3G coverage than AT&T, as shown by Verizon's “There's a Map for That” commercials. Their 3G service does fully cover the majority of Americans and, unlike AT&T, doesn't only cover major metropolitan cities. If you look at Verizon's 3G coverage map compared to AT&T's (see image below), you can clearly see that Verizon does, in fact, have better 3G coverage across the country. Claim Four: AT&T can Talk and Surf at the Same Time *True.* One of the claims that AT&T have bragged about the most is the ability to talk and surf at the same time, and this is absolutely true. On an iPhone, users can go to the Safari browser and navigate the Internet while talking to somebody on the phone, a task which cannot be performed by most of Verizon Wireless' phones. This can prove to be a very convenient feature that is, unfortunately not available on most Verizon Wireless phones. Claim Five: AT&T has the Most Popular Smartphones *True.(I'd say debatable now) * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:333258 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
