T-Mobile has once again topped the findings of an independent research firm as the carrier with the fastest 5G speeds and greatest 5G availability. And this seems to be supported by a second report that said T-Mobile has a “commanding lead in 5G.”

The first report comes from umlaut, which examined the 5G performance of carriers in four major markets: Norfolk, VA; Indianapolis, IN; Detroit, MI; and San Bernardino and Riverside, CA. According to the report, T-Mobile’s 5G download speeds had an average of over 200Mbps and its users were able to connect to 5G 95% of the time. 

PCMag’s Fastest Mobile Networks is the source of the second report, which named T-Mobile as the winner of the fastest 5G speeds in the country back in August. The study traveled over 10,000 miles to survey 30 major metro areas and 6 rural regions. T-Mobile topped the survey in 24 cities and 2 rural regions. Its competitors only earned 8 (AT&T) and 2 (Verizon) recognitions in these areas. 

PCMag’s takeaway from the study revealed that T-Mo has the fastest average 5G download and upload speeds; and also has the greatest 5G availability. They also shared that “5G availability from the other carriers doesn’t really matter — yet.” 

The study also found that T-Mobile’s range and capacity will continue to grow as it builds and adds more equipment. Meanwhile, AT&T and Verizon “will need to hustle to catch up.”
