City Results<br />
ATLANTA: T-MOBILE<br />
This year’s test in Atlanta turned out to be a very close battle between Verizon,<br />
which won last year, and T-Mobile. T-Mobile pulled it out, primarily thanks to<br />
faster average download speeds, although we’d like to note that Verizon was<br />
more consistent and reliable.<br />
We’re talking about two very good networks here, and if we’d weighted our<br />
score differently, the win could have gone to Verizon. All four networks<br />
acquitted themselves well, actually, with peak speeds approaching 150Mbps and<br />
few really slow spots. Sprint’s lower score is partly due to the fact that at one<br />
test spot, in a parking lot right on the Emory campus, our Sprint phone dropped<br />
to 3G for the duration. That just shouldn’t happen in a major city in <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
T-Mobile showed one spectacular test result, right on the Little Five Points bar<br />
strip, where we saw an average of 124Mbps down(!) and 21Mbps up. It’s safe to<br />
say that if you’re chronicling your late-night drunken escapades in Little Five<br />
Points, T-Mobile has you covered.<br />
AUSTIN: AT&T<br />
Along with Indianapolis, Austin is one of AT&T’s first 5G Evolution (gigabit<br />
LTE) cities. And make no mistake: AT&T absolutely smokes it in Austin.
