Verizon does not have a phone like the iPhone a bandwith hog. I'm not taking sides here but if verizon has phone single phone that has sold millions in a short time I'm sure they would not be singing that tune. I agree that AT&T shouldve been more equipped to handle the demand but I don't think that anyone would have foreseen this. I also agree that spending money in ads just to prove the competitor wrong is stupid. The way they should handle verizon's claims is to upgrade their network to the point that verizon's claims laughable. I know that's what I would do, maybe that's why I don't run a multimillion dollar company. But really AT&T you really want ppl to know the truth well spend your money in what you specialize your network and making that network better and you will see how much better ppl react when you do that.

Won't you unlock your iPhone to have a wider network. Just to clarify: I don't care about any of them, but when they do a wrong ad, I like to point on that lol

This commercial sucks. The first one was good, but this one might as well have been paid for by Verizon. It makes the coverage seem less than it really is. Why is Alaska even being shown, when they could have just shown the 48 states? It looks like the West is only partially covered. And when he's reading the postcards, it doesn't seem to be so comprehensive. The only part that was good was the "over 300 million people".

What are you talking about? The only places in this commercial that the coverage sucks are hard to reach areas (Mountains etc). The thing that AT&T forgets to mention is that Verizon was attacking their 3g coverage. Not their total network coverage. If they showed a map of their 3G coverage it would have looked exactly like the map in the Verizon commercial. Otherwise their network coverage is fine as shown in this map.

AT&T needs to stop wasting money on these Ad's and get there butts to work and spend money on getting better 3G coverage.

poor, weak answer. Just does not talk about 3G, which is what really matters....
