Ever wonder how your cell phone provider’s mobile network speed stacks up against its competitors? In today’s world of instant access, it is easy to feel entitled to faster download and upload speeds and lightning-fast internet. Every cell phone provider claims to have the fastest network, so it can feel like a gamble when choosing which company to trust. PC Magazine is helping to take some of the guesswork out of the decision by announcing its findings from recent research on the actual mobile network speeds of the four largest cell phone providers: Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T. The study was quite sophisticated, involving three hybrid Fords, eight identical Samsung phones, and thirty cities across the United States. While AT&T’s LTE network can claim a slight overall victory, it’s important to look at the “bigger picture.” For instance, while AT&T’s speeds may be the fastest, Verizon’s network is the most reliable. It also depends on where you live, so be sure to check out your area’s results on PC Magazine’s website. The resultsare detailed, in-depth, and pretty eye-opening.
