Top Telecom: T-Mobile Leads Speed in North America, U.S. Carriers Lagging Globally

Phones Canada is excited to share the latest data compiled by Opensignal, revealing T-Mobile as the fastest wireless provider in North America. Here are some key highlights from the report:

– T-Mobile achieved an impressive average download speed of 109Mbps, surpassing Canada’s Bell by 46.3%.
– Canada’s Telus secured the third spot with an average download speed of 73.1Mbps.
– Globally, T-Mobile ranked second in download speed among carriers in Group 1 markets, just behind Norway’s Telenor.
– Despite its stellar performance, T-Mobile subscribers had a 4G or 5G signal only 98.4% of the time, slightly lower than AT&T and Verizon in the U.S.

In addition to leading in download speeds, T-Mobile also claimed the best overall video experience in the U.S., offering superior streaming quality compared to Verizon and AT&T customers. However, U.S. carriers did not make it to the top rankings for Video Experience or Consistent Quality in Group 1 markets.

Opensignal’s Global Mobile Network Experience Report highlighted a significant increase in 5G connections year-over-year, reaching 1.59 billion connections in 2023. With only 18% of all connections featuring 5G connectivity, there is still immense potential for growth in this technology.
