Fastest Mobile Networks isn’t just about downloads—average download speeds<br />
are only 20 percent of the score. While Verizon had faster average downloads<br />
than T-Mobile, T-Mobile had more consistently reliable broadband upload and<br />
download speeds, as well as faster overall uploads. That makes for a better,<br />
broader LTE experience.<br />
PHOENIX: VERIZON<br />
Verizon took the crown in Phoenix with the fastest average download and<br />
upload speeds. We tested across the sprawling Phoenix metro area, including<br />
Chandler, Mesa, and Scottsdale, to make sure that we collected the best possible<br />
data on coverage and speeds.<br />
Both Sprint and T-Mobile showed some interesting results. Sprint had very<br />
good but inconsistent download speeds and very poor upload speeds. This is a<br />
choice that Sprint has made, preferring downloads over uploads in a big way.<br />
We agree that people download more than they upload, but we think Sprint has<br />
gone a bit overboard with the weighting.<br />
T-Mobile had very good upload and download speeds, but it got socked on<br />
consistency because of slow results at two of our 12 test points. Verizon<br />
delivered fast speeds at more places across the Phoenix area.
