Will Verizon 4g be worth the cost over Sprint?

I am looking into getting a new smartphone that I will be using quite a bit for calls, internet, emails for work and texting. I've heard that Verizon's new 4g is supposed to be really good, but currently Sprint offered me a 25% discount, so it would be quite a bit cheaper than Verizon. What's the deal with Verizon's upcoming 4g service and is it really going to be that great that I should pay quite a bit more? Thanks for any and all feedback.

I think Verizon is going to exceed Sprints coverage in the near future if they have not already but it's also too early to tell who the clear winner is. The main advantage for Verizon is their lower frequency, however they also have a huge downfall with their limited amount of spectrum. I also think in large cities Sprint has a huge advantage because they can install many more towers without causing interference due to the larger amount of spectrum and the higher frequency. This will enable them to meet future demand. This also might be one reason why Verizon doesn't offer an unlimited plan for 4g. In short I would say it's still a matter of personal choice on who provides the best coverage and the best phone for you're situation. Who knows this could change overnight because there are so may variable about what the future of 4g holds and if carriers are going to hold true to their promises.
