Report: T-Mobile has fastest and most consistent cellular, Verizon offers fastest broadband in the US

Ookla is out with its latest report for mobile and fixed broadband Internet speeds in the US. Continuing a trend, T-Mobile won for best mobile performance across the board with speeds roughly 2x faster than AT&T and Verizon along with having the highest consistency and availability. Meanwhile, for fixed broadband, Verizon edged out XFINITY for the fastest service.

Ookla, the maker of Speedtest, shared its report for US mobile and broadband Internet performance during Q1 2022 on its website today.

For mobile, T-Mobile again outperformed the competition – corroborating results we’ve seen from recent Opensignal studies.
