There's the reality and then there's the line of BS that gets
frequently thrown around. Generally it's conceded that Verizon has
the most robust network. AT&T (aka the Deathstar) has the campaign
that won't die with the "more bars in more places." With that said
you can really pretty much put all the claims in the trash since
wireless reception is always variable and what may work great for one
person in their circumstances (works great at home and at work) there
are always things that will affect what kind of reception you will get
in a particular circumstance. What ultimately affects what you get is
proximity to the nearest base station as well as what the terrain is
like near you and what obstacles may have to be breached (like living
on the side of a hill for instance.)
