Mobile phone network test results revealed: AT&T is the fastest, Sprint is the slowest (Alberta Times) The technology website "PCWorld" recently announced the results of a mobile phone network test. The winners with the fastest network speeds are AT&T and T-Mobile. According to the test results, AT&T's 4G LTE network showed the fastest average, although its rival Verizon's LTE network had slightly better upload speeds. T-Mobile has obvious advantages in uploading and downloading on 3G networks. Sprint's network speed ranked last in all test cities, and the network speed of its 4G WiMAX product even lagged behind the 3G network speed of its competitors. The company is moving its WiMax network to LTE. According to the report, the company has been committed to converting its development resources. The test is available in 13 major cities across the United States, with coverage in the Washington area mirroring national results. Although T-Mobile's 4G network performs a little better in download speeds. The Washington area test results also show that AT&T's 3G network in the area is not as strong as in other parts of the country. In fact, the area's AT&T 3G speeds are among the worst in the country. But, overall, the results suggest operators will continue to build out their 3G networks and add capacity to keep up with mobile phone growth. The growth rate of mobile phones is very significant. Smartphones account for half of all mobile phone users, exactly 49.7%, and more than two-thirds of new phone buyers choose smartphones over feature phones, according to a March report from Nielsen. This means consumers have more and faster demands for data transmission speeds.
