T-Mobile vs Verizon vs AT&T: Latest network comparison goes beyond speed to crown a predictable king،
What is the most important aspect of your mobile network experience? If your response is quick, you might be surprised to discover today that you are part of a minority. According to a recent in-depth survey conducted by Opensignal, only 6.5% of US wireless carrier “evaluators” prioritize speed.
So what's more important than speed? Actually, a lot of things, from cost (of course) to reliability, network quality, coverage and customer services. Even if some of these characteristics seem terribly vague (like “quality”) or very subjective (customer service), Opensignal is here today to judge the “reliability experience” provided by T Mobile, Verizonand AT&T to their subscribers across the country in the most objective and scientific manner possible.
Unsurprisingly, all three operators receive high overall ratings based on data collected between December 1, 2023 and February 28, 2024, confirming the findings of a previous Opensignal report which ranked the United States among the top 12 markets in the world from a reliability perspective.
Of course, some US carriers are generally more reliable than others, and while AT&T can't be too upset about scoring a respectable 875 points out of a maximum of 1,000, T-Mobile and Verizon ultimately came out on top with 887 and 886 scores. respectively.
That's the slimmest of margins, but it makes Magenta the national heavyweight champion of… anything other than 5G speed, speeds in general, and 5G availability. At the regional level, T Mobile triumphs in the South-West and the South-East while statistically sharing the gold medal with Verizon in the West and narrowly losing to Big Red in the Midwest and Northeast.
The Southwest is the only part of the country where AT&T doesn't finish dead last among the three major U.S. carriers when it comes to overall network reliability, adding to the already long list of reasons why you should probably consider switching from the powerful American network. Mama Bell.
If you're not sure what the reliability metric is supposed to measure, Opensignal defines it as the degree of consistency at which users can “connect and maintain a connection to their mobile network to carry out typical activities such as l 'sending e-mail, streaming video'. , and use navigation applications without interruption.”
Without great reliability, high speeds don't mean much because they can't translate to essential activities like web browsing and streaming. The next time you look at one of these comprehensive network experience reports, you might want to pay close attention. to this metric. Or you can stop following these comparisons and just assume that T-Mobile is number one everywhere and in (almost) every aspect.
