Actually, it doesn’t say much. Verizon has a bigger 3G network than ATT, but they have lots of holes in it and per my users sometimes it just plain doesn’t work - and there’s no real 2G fallback for VZ.

Meanwhile, while ATT’s 3G network is a lot smaller, they have damn near universal coverage on 2G - and the iPhone can downshift.

Quite often my users with iPhones are the only ones on site with usable signal, when they’re out on rural construction jobs.
