No (pout). I have the best coverage.

Wireless networks in America have been dominated by two main companies for the past few years. Verizon Wireless and AT&T, which used to be Cingular, have been fighting for the “top dog” position in wireless coverage for years. Both companies advertise as have the best coverage in America, both in quantity of area, and quality of coverage. The most recent battle ground for these two companies is a series of advertisements for Verizon’s 3G coverage showing  map of why AT&T does not have the best coverage. AT&T filed a lawsuit against Verizon that sited misleading information saying the AT&T 3G network is worse than it really is. This lawsuit was dropped after a Consumer Reports survey in wireless customer satisfaction came out citing AT&T as the worst company in service and coverage. The worst wireless provider out of four national wireless providers. So who has misleading advertising now, the company with “more bars in more places” or the company with “a map for that?”
