I mean no disrespect, but as an AT&T wireless employee, I’ve heard nothing of this until yesterday, so I’m not sure if the “average user” would be terribly privy to this discussion. Many customers are still unfamiliar with LTE in general. I feel that this is more towards stock holders than users.

But Verizon’s LTE towers are spread thin and only cover the bare minimal within cities. With LTE towers only covering 4 square miles and reducing speeds exponentially the farther away you are, and only having minimal amounts of towers that have 5 x as many people on it from a year ago is just slowing the networks speeds down. St.Louis and Chicago have slow and spotty coverages for lte, 3g fine. They need to double and triple the amount of lte towers in order for the masses to actually get any speeds. I used to get 15 mbps down, then 12, now 10, in one years time and barely get 5 up.

Hopefully sprint and tmo can get on the ball and put a little pressure on the big 2 maybe get some reasonable prices back or give those of us on one of the two a viable option to switch to

I have recently left Verizon (no complaints at all), and have had nothing but good experience with ATT so far. Their 3G+ works great, and when I hit their LTE in Minneapolis it FLEW. My biggest complaint with Verizon was after the iPhone 5 was released I felt the network slow a bit, but after they did some tower upgrades in our area shortly after everything was good again.

AT&T’s success and downfall are the same. The iPhone. It brought it a metric crap ton of subscribers and a whole boat load of money, but sank their network faster than the Titanic is you watch the movie in fast forward. To this day they are still playing catch up. Part of the reason they have a higher cap on LTE data is to try to get people onto their LTE network and off their HSPA+ network.

As long as AT&T brings LTE Advanced to California first then I’m cool with it.

Although I did just travel back to Michigan for Thanksgiving and I wanted to punch little children and pull my hair out while lighting myself on fire every time I used my data connection.

Battery life would be amazing as well. Also you could have any phone. Nexus 4 makes sense considering lack of LTE wouldn’t make a difference and it is cheaper off contract than any other phone.

Besides tiered data and ridiculous plan pricing. I’ve actually been considering dropping my phone line in general, porting my number to Google voice and just using my cell for WiFi calls. Almost all the calls I make are from work/home and there’s no reason to pay for something I can do for free.
