SPEED SPEED SPEED!
There is no doubt that the mobile technology industry is growing at break neck speed. First among the changes in mobile are the consumers growing desire for faster mobile data speed networks and the amazing variety of smartphones that operate on them. Most wireless customers theses days are making decisions on what carrier or device they want, based simply on how fast they are. All 4 major wireless US carriers have respective 4G networks that deliver internet speeds faster than most peoples Wi-Fi connection at their home or office.
The issue of deciding on a wireless carrier seems like an easy choice to make if you have seen Verizon's latest string of TV ads where they show graph charts that boast the fact that they have more LTE coverage than AT&T, T-Mobile and SPRINT combined. This is true, but many other factors including plan pricing, all around network performance, and device availability play key rolls in those decisions also. Sprint has an attractive unlimited data offering on their WiMAX and LTE devices and T-Mobile recently launched a nationwide truly unlimited plan on their speedy HSPA+ based 4G network. Still AT&T and Verizon have the largest coverage areas on their voice and 4G networks.
