So, Why does AT&T run commercials with "The Fastest 3G network" if they are running in 2nd/3rd place?

uh.. i dont recall seeing any commercials saying that.. but if that is the case, then technically they are, because sprint is evdo rev A.. not 3G

rev. A is 3G just like UMTS is 3G. I know that AT&T gets away with saying they're the largest network since they work all over the world, maybe that HSDPA stuff makes them the fastest, too? Even though, last time I talked to my AT&T rep, they have no HSDPA in the states?

Because if you can't win, lie? Marketing 101.
