Why do Verizon sales people feel the need to lie?

I'm with Straight Talk through Walmart after leaving Verizon. Verizon claim they're the best but Straight Talk uses everybody's towers, including Verizon's so I'm getting their reliability for about $30.00 less per month. Straight Talk is coming out with a mobile hotspot and their coverage is less than half for the unit and the monthly coverage. I've had multiple issues with Verizon's services and their customer service is great 1/2 the time and the other 1/2 they are useless. The only bad thing with Straight Talk is they are slower to get the latest and greatest phones so if you have to have every new phone that comes out, you'll be a month or two behind.

 

No they're not. Hasn't been that way for years now.

 

Yeah, we're talking about 4G coverage. And Verizon still stomps anyone else in coverage, especially out West. Obviously it all depends on where you run. Show us a coverage map that says differently.

This site covers it well.

As quoted by the web page.
"It’s a general rule that cities have better coverage than rural areas, but if you live in less populated areas, Verizon’s your best bet for latching on to that 4G LTE signal."

Another article here says basically the same.

 

In my state. ATT is the winner by a long shot. In 4G. But even 3G speeds. While my phone has download. It still won't internet most times. But it has coverage V and S still aren't there.

For awhile I was going up to Idaho. V never worked there where I go once I got past the last of civilization in Utah.

 

i live in Idaho and have Verizon and I get service every where that at&t does and a lot of places that they dont

 

I had Verizon since 2010 until two years ago.
So I switched to att and att was good but it was missing something. I went back to Verizon... I lasted two months and now I’m back at att.
As much as I hate to admit it. Att walks over Verizon currently. My brother switched too he teathers I don’t.
Edit: most providers will feed you crap about hot spot teathering how they don’t condone it.

 

I've been to Idaho and know where att works and Verizon didn't.. sprint did though

 

I live in Idaho and have never once not had service and at&t and sprint have, I used to have sprint but went to Verizon because large sections I was roaming on sprint or no service at all and att either had crap service or no service at all

 

Missed the 5g article, didn’t you?
