Nov 16, 2023 · After the Sprint merger, T-Mobile quickly repurposed that carrier's extensive mid-band coverage to 5G in band n41, which allowed it to gain the lead in 5G speeds in coverage in 2020 and 2021. That has been the secret sauce.

Test after test, AT&T's 5G network topped Verizon's fastest network speeds -- 1.8Gbps on AT&T and 1.3Gbps on Verizon. That's especially impressive knowing that AT&T decided to "cap" its 5G speeds at 2Gbps, suggesting they could go even higher. Sprint peaked at 484 Mbps (megabits per second). That's 3.7 times slower than AT&T's highest score, but st...
Although AT&T technically has more cities lit up in 5G than Sprint and certainly Verizon, the Galaxy S10 5G phoneisn't actually available to the general public yet (it's only for business users). That makes Sprint the winner in turning on a larger 5G network that more people can use today. However, Verizon is the largest US network by population co...
Network type: mmWave technology5G cities: Six cities, including Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York5G phone: Galaxy S10 5GMore 5G cities announced: T-Mobile is focused on the Sprint merger and expansion into low-band spectrumPeak speeds are one thing, but what you'll really care about is how quickly your shows and movies can download. We downloaded some of the same apps and shows in Chicago, Dallas, and LA to try to compare. It's not apples to apples, of course, because of testing constraints that have us in different cities, on different networks using different phone...
Heat may throw a wrench into 5G speeds. When we tested T-Mobile's network on the Galaxy S10 in New York, we noticed that 5G would hand off to 4G as the mercury climbed. At around 88 degrees in full sunlight, falling back to a 4G network would keep internal phone temperatures in check -- in addition to any individual devices' internal cooling strate...
Sprint doesn't have the fastest speeds by a mile, but where the carrier really pulled ahead was in citywide coverage. Our test in Dallas had us on a bus and car driving around the city while seeing download speeds pass between 5G and 4G. We were able to test on the go, and there was a larger area of the city and Dallas outskirts outfitted with cove...
AT&T shows us the most potential for blazing downloads at the brink of our imagination. Verizon has the upper hand when it comes to consistently fast 5G speeds when you can actually latch onto the network. And Sprint showed us how slower-but-broader 5G coverage can still benefit you with faster-than-4G downloads across the board. T-Mobile proved it...
Aug 20, 2024 · Don't spring for T-Mobile's outstanding 5G service if you have a stronger Verizon signal at your home. By the same token, don't purchase Verizon for its widespread nationwide 4G LTE service if you rarely leave urban areas.
