Verizon Wireless Broadband Coverage Dusts the Competition?

If you want to, we can supply you

Got enough work, to feed the whole town…

‘Cause we takin’ over, one city at a time

Said we takin’ over, one city at a time

-Akon “We Takin Over”

That just about sums up what happening with Verizon Wireless Coverage. After months of aggressively upgrading their network in urban and rural areas, they started to air ads stating that they’ve got the most reliable and largest mobile broadband network.

That’s a pretty tall order.

To add fuel to the fire, they’ve got a coverage map that let’s you do a “Broadband/3G Comparison”. Last year it let you view AT&T’s 3G network and Sprint’s Mobile Broadband against theirs (which coincidentally had better coverage).

In an interesting turn of events, Sprint’s mobile broadband coverage has mysteriously vanished from the comparison chart. Did Sprint tell them to take it off or was Sprint’s coverage actually better? Your guess is as good as mine. I can’t say I haven’t noticed those commercials about Verizon having the largest mobile broadband network are airing anymore.

Regardless of who’s the largest, Verizon’s network is pretty robust. They’ve got excellent coverage at great speeds across many states. They are some noticeable pockets in 3G coverage throughout the Midwest and the Rocky Mountains that could definitely keep someone out there from hopping on “the nation’s most reliable network”. While they’ve made some great upgrades, whether Verizon will be like your buddy on speed dial if you ever catch a flat depends on where you are.

Verdict:

If you’re on the East or West Coast, you’ll most likely be covered. The only pitfalls to Verizon Wireless Internet right now are it’s 5 Gigabyte cap on downloading and being in Alaska, the MidWest or Rocky Mountains. If you don’t travel much, this may be a good bet for you.

Of course, there’s much more to selecting a mobile broadband carrier than coverage. For the full deal here are:
