Nearly everyone is familiar with the Verizon Wireless TV Campaign, “There’s a Map For That.” AT&T’s paltry network is highlighted in blue with holes and gaps apparent floating above their phones as people can’t get data and elves joke “good luck connecting with that!” AT&T is mad too, mad enough to sue Verizon like ACORN is suing those who exposed their shenanigans.
Not only is AT&T mad enough to sue a superior competitor in the data arena but now they plan to take steps to target the real source of their woes- the customers they tried so hard to corral with exclusive agreements with Apple for iPhone contracts. According to WSJ online, the AT&T empire now may have plans to strike back at its customers by introducing a tiered pricing structure for its iPhone users. Additionally, as if their solicitations aren’t annoying enough, AT&T has been nagging its customers by sending them messages about their data use.
Meanwhile the nice face of AT&T has been touting its “fastest U.S. network” campaign as a reason to switch. Well, duh? Is it fast or is it overcrowded? What’s the point of you have 3 people on your network who have all been intimidated into reducing their data usage?
It’s time for the iPhone to escape the clutches of AT&T and get picked up by Verizon Wireless.
Still has better coverage- and plenty fast!
