see the huge difference from its competitors we saw in<br />

Austin and Indianapolis, so the upgrades must not be in<br />

All of the carriers performed well in Chicago. Even<br />

Sprint, the slowest of the four, showed a more<br />

consistent experience than it did in other major cities,<br />

making it an acceptable choice. Although AT&T was<br />

consistent citywide, Verizon and T-Mobile both had hot<br />

spots where they showed spectacular speeds.<br />

In Verizon’s case, it was right behind the Merchandise<br />

Mart, with 127Mbps average speeds. Motorola is based<br />

in the Merchandise Mart, so maybe its employees<br />

should yoke their new Z2 Force phones to Verizon. For<br />

T-Mobile, stellar speeds erupted at Union Station.<br />

DALLAS: T-MOBILE<br />

Dallas has always been a strong spot for T-Mobile. The<br />

city was the home of Metro<strong>PC</strong>S, which T-Mobile bought<br />

a few years ago, and as a result T-Mobile has a deep<br />

bench of spectrum and strong coverage throughout the<br />

Dallas Metroplex.
