Columbia, SC. ATT customer for 8 years, in the beginning, service weasn't as good as VZW, but it improved. The coverage area is not quite as large (VZW better in rural areas in SC), but ATT absolutely smokes VZW in speed in urban areas. Not even the same ballpark.

I would gladly go back to ATT, but my job provides my VZW phone. Also, the ability to use the internet while being on the phone is a nice feature (that VZW doesn't offer).

I’m a longtime Verizon user and can confirm there was a time this was true. But I’m certain i’ve recently browsed the internet while on the phone.


Another observation up for debate:
I seem to recall during the Baton Rouge flooding that many AT&T users were very disappointed in the severe network disruption that occurred because other carriers, Verizon in particular, did not experience the same thing. Anecdotally, a large number of users converted to Verizon.

During the Houston Harvey flooding, the issue popped up again with identical observations.

My sample size is anecdotal and limited to a network of friends and neighbors. Did others experience the same thing?

Maybe it's time for a new phone... I've had Verizon for years and this is absolutely possible on LTE. Moto x pure user.

Verizon blows AT&T out the water. I enjoyed having service during the flood unlike AT&T users.
