I take issue with AT&T claiming they have the fastest 3G network when Verizon's EVDO-Rev A has faster speeds. Every time I see that commercial I can't believe they are getting away with that bold-face-lie and i'm glad someone is doing something about it.
I wouldn't go so far to make claims like that. Technically by specification AT&T's is faster. But we all know that doesn't mean crap due to backhaul and congestion constraints in the real world. On top of that, speeds between carrier can vary from site to site, why? Because THAT IS the nature of wireless.
