I was looking at the ST phones at Walmart. The only Andriod 4 phone on Verizon they had was the Galaxy Centura. I was concerned that it is only 3G capable. The clerk told me not to worry because with ST on Verizon 3G is as fast as it goes ? Is that true, no 4G speed on Verizon.

Verizon 3g is fairly slow.

If tmobile is good in your area go with straight talk t mobile sim, if not what about att.

My verizon/st 3g speeds are very good most of the time. Its around 1.6mgs. When in very congested areas at more of the peak times it slows to .3mgs. I do hate that.


Or you can get on the tmo sim and I avg about 10-15mbps in my area. Tmos hspa+ is gong to kill any 3g and if you really need the larger network they are now selling the att sims again and if your area supports it, you can get lte speeds, Verizon what?
