RootMetrics, a consumer focused, independent mobile network tester, has released its latest United States report discussing where mobile carriers are leading and where they’re falling behind.
For 2014, RootMetrics has taken the crown away from AT&T and given it to Verizon, who took first place in all of the categorical breakdowns RootMetrics tested.
Focusing on network speeds and reliability, RootMetrics has six main categories:
- Overall Performance (a combination of results from data, call, and text testing)
- Network Reliability (a holistic look at reliability across all of our testing)
- Network Speed (a holistic look at speed across data and text testing)
- Data Performance
- Call Performance
- Text Performance
While Verizon took first and AT&T taking second overall, in the sub-category of metro network speed, T-Mobile delivered some impressive results. These speeds even beat 2013′s overall winner AT&T.
In the 125 markets where all carriers are present and offering 4G speeds, Verizon and T-Mobile both averaged 10+ Mbps at a higher occurrence than the other two main US carriers. Out of that 125, Verizon did these numbers in 122 of them, while T-Mobile did it in 108. AT&T was only able to accomplish this in 93 cities.
If you’re wanting to kick it up a notch, when looking at the frequency in which carriers averaged 20+ Mbps speeds in 41 metros, Verizon dominated with 40 cities and T-Mobile did half as well with 20 cities. AT&T only reached these stats in 14 cities.
