Best Telecom in H2 2021

Verizon has made over $45 billion investments in the past two years, more than AT&T and T-Mobile combined, which improved its 5G coverage in 122 of the 125 cities tested. T-Mobile followed this, which maintained low grades in most segments but has over 100 Mbps median download speeds!

T-Mobile has risen from zero to 47 markets in H2 of 2021 and has over 200 Mbps in 13 of the 47 cities and over 300 Mbps in two of them! In addition, the median speed of T-Mobile stood above 50 Mbps.
