i say go ATT or Verizon. I just left Sprint and gladly paid the ETF fee to go to Verizon. Pick up the Galaxy Nexus or Razr or Rezound if you go Verizon. If you go ATT, pick up the Galaxy S2 or the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (LTE version of S2).
People have their gripes, but in my past experiences, the most reliable networks for speed and coverage has been between ATT and Verizon. Sprint has the best data plans, but coverage is mediocre-acceptable and the 3g speeds are sub-par; their 4g speeds are faster, but not as fast as Verizon's LTE networks. ATT i know is upgrading but give it some time before they're up to par to Verizon's speed. But regardless, both networks are much faster than Sprint.
T-mo: i can't comment too much. never experienced them. All i know of them is that they have good customer service, but their coverages are iffy... but they do have some of the nicer phones on the market.
If you go ATT/Tmobile, DailySteals.com has an unlocked GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus that you can use!

Since you know so much you should know that the Atrix and the s 2 are not lte phones, and as a matter of face the infuse and inspire are also not lte devices. So how can you have first hand expirence with an lte service and you don't evan have or know what phones are lte.
To the op is your going with vz go with the razor, if you want to stay with att wait 2 months and we will have a quad core HTC that's said to have great battery life
Also the infuse has been end of life since the HTC vivid came out 3 months ago..

EDIT:
Thanks for the information. And yes I was concerned about the LTE coverage of at&t... if you actually look on their website, the LTE coverage is 15 cities from central America to East Coast and none on the west coast...
Whereas Verizon has it everywhere. That's where I'm kinda confused. Does verizon have free mobile to mobile to any provider? I'm currently with at&t, and my upgrade has been due the past 6 months, but I wasn't really interested in phones, but now I believe the Android > Iphone. So I want to move in that direction, more places/applications are storming out with Android available devices.
It's for personal use, what other phones besides the Galaxy II on at&t are there?
I'm considering a switch to verizon depending on cost of the monthly bill with/without unlimited data, but again that all depends on weighing the pros and cons with phones. I heard the nexus and the razor are damn sexy.

Spectrum comes up in these conversations, because there isn't enough bandwith spectrum to go around. Which is why ATT was trying to buy T-Mo, so they can have their spectrum share. And those on ATT who still have unl. data, like Lanz0r are getting throttled like mad

You can still get unlim data with VZ as a new customer... you just gotta know some tips and tricks to do so
I was between the Nexus and the Razr... In my mind these were the major pros why I choose the Razr over the Nexus:
-Razr comes with 16gb internal memory and a 16gb sd card... can upgrade the card to a 32gb (like i did) and have a total of 48gb. The nexus is like an iphail with solely internal memory and is stuck at 32gb
-Razr has an HDMI port on the phone. You can get an HDMI to micro HDMI cable and plug it right into your tv. With the nexus you have to first wait till they actually make the docking station, buy it and then buy a HDMI to micro HDMI cable to hook it up to your tv
-Razr has better front and rear facing camera
-Razr has the same processor as the nexus
-Razr will be one of the first phones to update to ICS, although the nexus comes with it.
one reason why I passed on the Razr (aside from not having ICS stock) is the fact that you cannot change the battery - hated that on the iP4

How much is the corp unlim plan?
Read a little thru this thread here:
How to get unlimited data! - xda-developers
Depending on if you want/need unlim 3/4g there might be a different plan code. You also might have to call in trying to get it more than a couple times.
The worst they can say is no over and over and when removing it online the worst that can happen is you go back to whatever you had before.
