    As long as iPhone 5 is on AT&T and Verizon I'll stick with AT&T until they don't carry the iPhone anymore. Just my 2 cents

    26% more bandwidth, and 26% less tower congestion. Sounds like a win for us AT&T users. Verizon jumpers enjoy paying that $325 early termination fee, price of new iPhone, higher rates, not being able to talk and use internet at the same time, and getting ripped off by a company that has been caught several times by the government doing just that. LOL

    ATT is gonna have to step up and offer better pricing along with faster / better service is they want to be competative. When the Berlin wall came down, they all rushed from the East (ATT) side to the West (Verizon) side. The walls (iPhone Monopoly) kept everyone locked in. This is all good...

    The only thing that's stopping me from switching over to the Verizon iPhone is that Verizon doesn't support using voice and data at the same time. So if you're using an app that uses the internet or using safari and you get a call it'll go to voicemail. And if you're on the phone and you activate an app that uses the internet or activate safari your phone call will cut off.

    So my question is after Verizon puts iPhone to work and they drop calls as many complain about AT&T do we then blame God (steve Jobs) or continue to blame the phone company because Apple can do no wrong? To many lemmings around here… lve my iPhone but it needs improvement .…I may be just about ready to try an Android…

    I can't wait to see how many Verizon iphone basher's will get the iphone now that they can. They all said the iphone was crap, I'll bet 10 to 1 that all the haters get the iphone, now that they will be able to. I can't wait till Verizon gets the iphone, It'll be better service for those of us that stay with AT&T.

    Most of those people are blowing smoke. Relatively few people will leave AT&T for Verizon when all is said and done. A few dipsh*ts will think that they're being rebels and switch right away. The rest will wait and see. Once they find out that Verizon's 3G is slower, they can't use the net and talk at the same time and that Verizon has dropped calls too, the rest will stick with AT&T.I bet no more than 5% will actually make the switch. 10% tops. AT&T will wait a few months and then offer a special to lure their old customers back. The ad campaign will be real customers complaining about how sorry they are that they switched.

    I can’t believe you people can’t choose your own carrier to go with your own iPhone??? Big corporations are sure in control of “you the people”.Sad but true.

    For anyone going to Verizon, don't let the door hit you. AT&T can use all of the early termination fee money to improve their network and get 4G going. That combined with the stress taken off of the network should help a lot. I'll stick with AT&T for as long as they're in the business. I had mobile broadband with Verizon in the past and would never deal with them again. Here in Houston, AT&T has never done me wrong.

    im sticking with AT&T always been good to me and they dont screw me as bad i heard verizon does people. and Verizon doesnt drop as many calls because they voice is on a separate line then there data. and since having my iphone 4 i have yet to drop a call so i think a lot of people blame their phone when actually its probably the person their talking to who is in the crappy service area.

    AT&T in Hampton Roads VA sucks. Our small business will move to Verizon, but I'll wait until June for iPhone 5, which will be a combo phone that will run on either network.

    I'm glad people will switch to verizon. Means more bandwidth for me on Att. Verizon sucks at customer service and will never get a dime of my hard earned money.

    While it's true VZ can't do voice and data, your perception of how it affects users is wrong. If you're using a data app, and get a phone call, the call WILL come through, you'll just lose data access for your app. Similarly, if you're on the phone and then try to use data, your call will stay connected, but you'll get an error message in your app saying there's no Internet connection. Calls will always take priority over data.
