This is complete BS. Or you haven't a clue
You choose. (I vote #2)

It's like saying both a Porsche and a Kia have
Goodyear tires, so they must run the same...

Or.... that Apple and Dell both use Intel chips...

1st - Verizon is a legacy 'cellular' carrier in many markets.
(Or shall I say GTE, AirTouch, and the other companies)
They have been providing service since the middle / late 80's in
many of their markets. The 'PCS' licenses came along years later.
Sprint is a PCS carrier.

Yes, parity may have been achieved in many markets, but overall, the
legacy 800 carriers (AT&T / VZW, etc) have the best overall coverage
nationwide and out in the boonies.

Physics. Wave propagation. 800 works better than 1900 - period.
It's just that simple. Longer wavelengths penetrate better. Longer
wavelengths carry further.
