"The results place AT&T’s data network not just on top, but well ahead

Looks like a can't win situation for the carrier.
AT&T's problem is that it is offering the best phones: several
different smart phones, including the iPhone. Hence heavy network
traffic. Verizon's network comes off looking good because it offers
its customer's the worst phones. Hence light network traffic. If the
Droid catches on we will soon see Verizon on its knees.
