Of course, Verizon was the only carrier not in a total eclipse during and after Hurricane Sandy and, now, they're leading by example.
All I have to say is, if you were lucky enough to be a Verizon subscriber through all of this then you are undoubtedly one of the lucky ones and, if you were not now is a good time to switch.
I know for a fact T-Mobile was in a total blackout south of East 30th Street and it's network had severe problems as early as Monday night as soon as Lower Manhattan went black. Sprint was off-line in spots. AT&T, well, all of their subscribers were in various Starbucks north of 42nd Street using iWiFi.

I'm still not buying the Note 2 because of their crappy home button.
Gonna get an unlocked Nexus phone with a T-Mo SIM card, eventually.

That's quite alright, you'll be without service like my Mom and brother the next time another hurricane roll through.

All carriers had issues after Sandy. I think the big 4 all do this, I know Sprint Nextel has been doing this for years also with law enforcement, insurance adjusters, utilities and other first responders by providing cell service and emergency satellite equipment after storms and other disasters. Good job VZW.

Verizon finally gets a decent article and you try to steal their thunder by gloating Sprint and Nextel utility law insurance blah blah blah, really? "All carriers had issues after Sandy," really? Thx for the update. And you "think the big 4 all do this," so your not sure then? Sounds like a troll might be upset that they don't have Verizon...

Agreed. Great job.
This is both Verizon's and AT&T's back yard. Yet only one was present in a big way. I'm generally skeptical about such things, but Verizon has shown which is the better corporate citizen.

They are still jerks, but they can do nice things when they need to. Still find them to be a bit underhanded though. Ah well, where's AT&T in this, what about Sprint or T Mobile?
Interestingly my cell phone went down to 1x RTT the day after the storm and then back to full 3G two days after that. They rerouted stuff quickly, guess that it pays to own a lot of towers in the area and have roaming agreements with everyone and their mom.

This video is bulls**t. After the hurricane on tuesday till late night thursday going into friday morning, Verizon was the only cell phone provider that DID NOT have service. They did not apologize to their customers or compensate them for no service. I live in Queens, NY and survived the hurricane. Don't buy into the hype here.
