Exactly, I want to see what the AT&T network looks like the most heavy iPhone users move on. For several years Verizon network had minimal smart phone users, but after Android and iPhone usage ramps up they could have the same sorts of issues.

PS: I want to stick with AT&T because Verizon has shitty reception around around my parents house. But, where I live and work the AT&T data network is heavy oversubscribed.

Well, the early release works to an advantage: the power users will be there from February to June (when the iPhone 5 is released.) Meaning that anyone willing to wait for the new one will get to pick a carrier in real-world conditions.

Hehe. We broke down and bought a Verizon Femtocell, so we will get all of the wonderful "IN" network effect of people switching back to Verizon, but will always have our own bandwidth to call from.
