T-Mobile also failed in Wyoming, but it was a pleasant<br />
surprise in Utah, where it rarely dropped. T-Mobile won<br />
most of our Northwest cities, and for those who spend a<br />
lot of time in western Washington or the more<br />
populated parts of Utah, it’s a very good choice.<br />
RURAL/SUBURBAN SOUTHWEST: T-MOBILE<br />
Our Southwest drive took us along the I-5 corridor in<br />
California, I-8 across to Tucson, and Route 93 up to Las<br />
Vegas. T-Mobile’s surprise win speaks to its<br />
dramatically improved rural coverage over the past few<br />
years. The carrier did especially well in southern<br />
California, with good speeds and few dropped<br />
connections. T-Mobile has also focused on building out<br />
popular corridors, so it’s very solid along the Tucson-<br />
Phoenix corridor and between Las Vegas and Boulder<br />
City, Nevada.<br />
Verizon had the<br />
most consistent<br />
network in<br />
extremely rural<br />
areas such as on<br />
I-8 west of the<br />
Sonoran Desert<br />
National<br />
Monument.<br />
That said, if you’re going to be way out in the desert,<br />
note that Verizon had the most consistent network in<br />
extremely rural areas such as on I-8 west of the Sonoran<br />
Desert National Monument. AT&T had the highest<br />
download speeds on this route overall but dropped to<br />
3G through almost all of our drive through northern<br />
Arizona, which really hurt its reliability score.
