Do you want to talk real-world data speeds? Like the kind I can walk outside and hit right now? Okay. Verizon's fastest service here is around 30-40 Mb/s down, while AT&T's fastest service here can theoretically reach 7.2 Mb/s down.
Unless you'd rather compare Gs, in which case Verizon's 3G typically runs 2-3Mb/s down, while AT&T's 3G can run from 200k - 3-something. Remember, you renamed your HSPA+ as "4G", so it's not 3G anymore.
But if you want to compare LTE to LTE, it's currently around 30-40 Mb/s down for Verizon (or 50 as we saw above), while AT&T's is ... wait, let me double-check ...
Zero.
You know, that's funny. Here's why..
It's understood AT&T 4G LTE and AT&T 4G HSPA+ is not in your area. You've made that perfectly clear. Where it is available, however, the experience is different.
True, but that wasnt my argument. My argument was that more customers are choosing AT&T. In every category.
Your delusional.

So, carriers want the iPhone more than you think. Subsidy costs are made up with two-year contracts.
Just because it's the best selling it doesn't mean it's the most profitable. Android and Blackberry users pay the same rates and agree to the same two year contract as iPhone users. The iPhone subsidy is much higher than other smartphones so that makes iPhones users less profitable than Blackberry and Android users.

This we agree on. VZW had more net postpaid adds than AT&T.

As if this thread was only about data speeds. Your just mad that VZW has a lower call failure rate than AT&T.
