I have a straight talk iphone ... has the same coverage as my verizon iphone. Had it for 4 years and no problems so far with service.
Edit ... My straight talk is on Verizon network and anywhere in Ga., Ms., Tn, or Bama I have the same # of bars on the straight talk as I do the true Verizon iphone.
Other than phone calls on the ST one all I do is text. So I cant comment on the speed of anything else.
