Keep'em.
Verizon's arrogance, shady, untrustworthy practices and over-pricing with little flexibility coupled with rogue employees that act on their own and management that takes no responsibility for the misdeeds of their subordinates is something for simple minded people.
Verizon will see the same network flaws that at&t saw when the IPhone really takes flight.........if it ever does.

AT&T and Verizon are the two worst cell phone companies in the US when it comes to pricing and customer service.

True.. True
But when you have the best coverage with little competition for large areas of the nation where Sprint, T-Mobile and others lack, you can charge more and people will still remain loyal. I'm pretty sure you cant travel throughout the U.S. and use your T-mobile or Sprint phone in rural areas as well as someone with Att or Verizon.
The testing has got to be flawed. Cnet and other reliable sources have done testing as well and all confirm that Att does have faster RAW speeds but when you factor in all the time people use with failed downloads and waiting to connect Att is actually slower. I bet that these test didnot include all those failed downloads into the test.
