The Battle Continues..

For years At&t Boasted that they had the best and most reliable network. Their ad campaigns focused on this slogan. “For the best coverage nationwide, chose At&t.” This got them into some legal trouble with their own customers.

Americas Best data and voice network



Best coverage worldwide

In 2007 At&t was sued by it’s own customers, because they obviously did not have the best coverage nationwide. They had to reshape their image and drop the old campaign. The new one tries to appeal to now worldwide coverage. Europe and some other countries use Gsm as their primary network. Now At&t is trying to make itself appealing by piggy backing on other carriers global service. They just cant win


Theres a map for that!

Now Verizon Wireless has proof and they are exploiting the unseen side of At&t. There is now an independent research company that has released the truth, and Verizon is taking advantage of it!

There is now a map for that! 5 times greater coverage over At&t



Android

Verizon Wireless has now made another attempt to win over At&t customers with a phone that does all this and more with no limitations on apps. Verizon Wireless is acting more aggressive to show the U.S. market, that yes we are a better, faster, more efficient network to run your personal, family and business on

So Which is better?

Cellular News writes: 
A study finds that there is a lower rate of call quality problems with certain technologies used by wireless providers. In particular, CDMA technology can potentially lessen the number of call quality problems customers experience. The average number of call quality problems reported by customers using CDMA technology is 14 PP100, while the average is 17 PP100 for wireless customers using GSM networks.
In that same article, a J.D. Power and Associates Senior Director of Wireless services said :


CDMA technology is generally considered to be more efficient for processing wireless calls, as it requires fewer cell sites to handle call volume compared with other wireless platforms. Additionally, major service providers that use the CDMA platform, such as Alltel and Verizon Wireless, typically perform better, with fewer initial disconnects, more on-time text messages, and less interference and static. 
So why hasn't At&t's Chief Technology Officer John Donovan considered fixing their network to become more efficient and make their customers happy?
