Verizon’s Not Petrified of iPhone 4 Traffic One Bit [Blockquote]

Just how confident is Verizon that they are able to handle the influx of knowledge usage from brand-new iPhone owners? So confident that they’ve been saying they’re ready for the onslaught since back in 2009 . But can they truly walk the walk?

There’s absolute confidence that Verizon’s CDMA network one of the vital reliable around. And their experience with Droid X-whose users reportedly snort up five times the usage of different Verizon smartphone owners-has surely given them a sense of what’s to return. Think about CTO Anthony Melone ‘s big brass ones, and it appears like everything must be a-okay.

But! Needless to say AT&T gets slammed against the boards, repeatedly and with great vigor , for service despite having the fastest 3G network around. And when all those people fan the flames of their Verizon iPhones on day one, the very first thing they’re going to do isn’t making a phone call. It’s downloading apps. That’s going to be some traffic jam.

Working in Verizon’s favor is that its CDMA iPhone will likely use separate channels for data and voice . That’s unlikely to aid your downloads much, nonetheless it means you’ll probably (hopefully) come to be having fewer dropped calls.

All of it’s, in fact, hypothetical (until it becomes actual tomorrow at 11am EST). But Verizon’s been beating this drum since at the least 2009; let’s hope they’ve taken that time make the required preparations for the barbarians at their network’s gate.
