Well, I stopped by the Verizon store today. I asked the guy there why I should pay $80 per month for unlimited Verizon service, when I can get the same thing from Comcast for $45, that also uses the Verizon network for phone calls. He said that my calls using Comcast (and also Straight Talk from Walmart) would be handled as lower priority calls than Verizon customer calls, and that I would probably experience dropped calls. I would like an opinion about whether or not this is really what happens. Comcast and Walmart both advertise that they use the Verizon network, but is it the same service as if you had a Verizon direct contract?
