Nice! Ivan the Terrible pulls another “bait and switch”:
Says: “SLOW MUSIC DOWNLOADS AND EMAIL”?
Then: “TALKS ABOUT COVERAGE”?
What does coverage have to do with speed?

(Slow, Data Only, SIM’less, ESN only, US/RU/SC) CDMA SUX ASS!

I can't blame the actor, look what he has to work with. They have him throwing postcards on a map of call coverage to refute an ad about 3g coverage... that'd make anyone seem douche-y ;p]]>Feb 16th 2010 6:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/verizon-vampire-ad-rips-off-twilight-sticks-it-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/verizon-vampire-ad-rips-off-twilight-sticks-it-to-atandt/

Maybe they should spend those millions of dollars on increasing capacity now that they have coverage down.

Their network? They have the most robust network, with the fewest dropped calls, and the largest 3G network. Not to mention they're investing millions in their new LTE network.

They actually spend more improving their network, per customer than any other company.]]>Feb 16th 2010 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/verizon-vampire-ad-rips-off-twilight-sticks-it-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/verizon-vampire-ad-rips-off-twilight-sticks-it-to-atandt/
hey kid.. you may not be old enough to know but.. these companies have marketing budgets... so we(as a customer) do not lose anything... Verizon makes commercials within their budgets so it doesn't matter if they makes this or others AS LONG AS ITS WITHIN THEIR BUDGET... So stop hating.. Verizon +AT&T are BIG BOYZ they just got more money than other 2 carriers and do these funny but stupid commercials... I know Sprint and T-Mobile wished they had this problem lol.. Losing billions of dollars every year just doesn't help the other 2.]]>Feb 16th 2010 8:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/verizon-vampire-ad-rips-off-twilight-sticks-it-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/verizon-vampire-ad-rips-off-twilight-sticks-it-to-atandt/
TRUTH for the win....

All this didn't add up to a hillabeans last year and it won't this year. The customer still knows that AT&T is the only network you can talk and surf the web on with 3G.

As for their coverage it's not perfect. And if you're in an area where there coverage isn't good then why the hell are you still with them? Move to Sprint or Verizon if you dare....

However for my part I get excellent 3G coverage and decent download speeds so I have no issues and no complaints. I highly doubt Verizon will get the iPhone but even if they were to get it I'd still stick with AT&T.

Apple haters can go croon over big red all they want. Doesn't change the fact that AT&T is making BANK while Verizon isn't....]]>Feb 16th 2010 9:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/verizon-vampire-ad-rips-off-twilight-sticks-it-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/verizon-vampire-ad-rips-off-twilight-sticks-it-to-atandt/
