We hate to point out the obvious, but it really seems that the marketing gurus (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/atandt-and-verizon-drop-lawsuits-make-nice-for-the-holidays/) at AT&T have this all wrong. Look guys -- no one's debating that AT&T's 3G isn't the fastest where available. We even saw as much ourselves (http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/engadget-labs-the-best-mobile-broadband-carrier-in-america/). But Verizon's recent slew of ads (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/verizon-ad-confirms-droid-is-a-not-quite-pretty-racehorse-duct/) have been calling out the size of your 3G network, which you absolutely can't argue is incredibly small when placed next to red-tinted competition. That said, AT&T is still fighting (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/apple-hits-back-at-verizon-in-new-iphone-ads-video/) a battle to which no one has challenged it by employing the admittedly quirky Luke Wilson to show off just how much faster his favorite network can download a JPEG of himself compared to VZW. We've got to say that the results are fairly hilarious, but frankly, we would've rather seen that huge ad buy go towards a few more 3G towers here in the US of A. Vid's after the break, per usual.Continue reading Latest AT&T spot calls Verizon's 3G network a headless, sluggish wannabe (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/06/latest-atandt-spot-calls-verizons-3g-network-a-headless-sluggish/)
