I never claimed that the customer base is high paying. On numerous
occasions I've shown price comparisons that prove that Verizon is
usually no more expensive than other carriers.

ARPU is not necessarily a good indicator of what the average person
pays, as it's the mean, not the mode. The slightly higher ARPU is
probably because Verizon has a lot more business customers, while AT&T
is catching up because of the higher cost plans for the iPhone.
