AT&T's 3G network is faster than any other network out there... even faster than Sprint and T-mobile's 4G networks.

ATT - 3g network, plus coverage sucks even worse for 4g
Verizon- 4G network, coverage almost everywhere verizon is cheaper without a doubt would stay with verizon because customer support is very nice and will work out anything with you.

...AT&T and Verizon have the EXACT same prices...
...and Verizon's customer service has sucked for me...
bought a $600 Treo back in the day, people couldn't hear me at all on 30% of my calls and the phone would freeze up and it would take 20+ minutes to restart... in the mean time, I wouldnt even know I was missing calls... Verizon wouldn't replace the phone (I tried at 6 different stores and calling their customer service multiple times, nada)
with AT&T, my Blackberry 9700 froze up twice, I called up customer service, and they sent me a new phone, which I had in my hand the next day.
And no I am not biased, just speaking from experience, I currently have a phone with both carriers, and no I do not have the iPhone... it sucks balls imo.

Well that's not true... not when speaking about theoretical figures at least.
When we are speaking about actual figures, my statement is 100% true, thank you.

^Im waiting for all the "i want an iphone on the VZ network OMGBBQQQ" guys to move from ATT to vz. Then my ATT will be faster! Plus, the unlimited 3G is too awesome to lose. Jailbroken tether + miwi = free access EVERYWHERE@!111!!

Ughhhhhh, I don't know about that.....
P.S. I just tested my phone using the BS program they used in the video, and it was slow as shit. I have never heard of that program, and it's not the standard. Speedtest.net is the standard, and is used by all the major telecom providers, including Verizon, ATT, TimeWarner, and DirectTV. If you want a second opinion, use the FCC app. The App they were using is utter dogshit.
