Verizon leads on speed but T-Mobile delivers best overall 4G quality

 

In the last quarter of 2017, the Verizon network delivered the best 4G network speeds by a significant distance to its rivals with 12.2 Mbps. Over 20 billion network quality measurements and over 900,000-speed tests were taken between October 1 and December 31 to establish these results.

About our testing

Tutela tests mobile networks by crowdsourcing anonymous sensor data from hundreds of millions of Android and iOS mobile users across the world. This enables us to collect billions of measurements every day and gain a real-world understanding of the mobile experience that mobile users are getting - not just in major towns & cities, but in all parts of the world.

Our testing methodology is designed to simulate typical user mobile behaviour, such as downloading a photograph or web page, rather than measuring the maximum performance, such as the peak download speed during a very large file transfer (which very few users will achieve) so that we can understand a typical user's experience.
