There’s a Misrepresentation for that… Verizon not telling the complete truth in their commercials?

The byline in an Apple Insider post this morning says it all…

As Verizon has stepped up its efforts to portray AT&T’s data network as sparse and largely unavailable, AT&T has published information that shows Verizon isn’t telling the whole story.

Verizon began advertising its 3G coverage against AT&T’s in a series of ads poking fun at Apple’s "there’s an app for that" iPhone commercials, presenting coverage maps of its own 3G CDMA/EVDO network in red against much more limited 3G service coverage maps for AT&T’s 3G network presented in blue.

This chart basically explains the article, but if you want to know more, head over to Apple Insider. Thanks Doogald for the heads up, While he says he gets no 3G on Verizon smack dab in the sea of red, I personally get 3G on an area of the map that has no blue in the commercial. Hmm.
