Since LTE was enabled on Dec 5th, my 3g connectivity has been unreliable. It often falls back to 1xRTT. All to serve a bunch of folks they hoped would be watching NFL football on LTE video feeds. I can't count on my iHeartRadio app to stream reliably anymore. Tomorrow, the 3g network is going to be mugged by a new crowd of iPhone users. More load on an already overloaded network. That's why I'm holding off for an LTE with 3g fallback. I'm working in San Diego where LTE is active. My home in Pocatello has only 3g service. LTE isn't expected there until 2013.

I can sympathize. Not having reliable data connections is irritating.

I have AT&T. My phone is a brick at the military base I work on, there is ‘No Service’. I mean, there are only 50,000 people in a 10 mile radius of me - who’d think that AT&T would need a cell phone here .... in a valley between the Rockies and the Great Salt Lake ... where 80% of the population of Utah resides.

I can’t reliably get AT&T coverage at several International Airports. Let me repeat .... major hub ... freakin’ INTERNATIONAL Airports. Salt Lake Intl’, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Philly, Houston Int’l, ect.

Verizon may need to improve their network ... but AT&T doesn’t even have a good network in place yet. That’s why they rated as the WORST cell provider in the USA - and they aren’t smart enough to realize that this is an insult. They have the most money, they have the most to lose; and they have done the least.
