From the source of the study:

> Jersey City, NJ, has the fastest mobile network speed in the United States, with an average download speed of 107.2 Mbps, average upload speed of 22.5 Mbps, and an average latency of 28 ms. Jersey City’s coverage score was 13/16, on par with a majority of the other most populous cities.

I never thought I'd see the day that Jersey City would beat us at something

If you live next to a 5g tower you’re living large. There’s one down the block from me maybe 30 meters away and I’m getting 500 down and 100 up consistently.

Meanwhile spectrum has a whole fucking cable plugged into my apartment and I’m lucky if I get these same speeds.

No fancy chart will convince me that NYC has anything other than poor service. AT&T and queensboro? Might as well be on the moon. Rural Africa which lacks roads has better cell phone reception than the Hudson metro north line up to Westchester.

Just the idea that you need to mix and match your operator in - let us remind ourselves - the richest city in the world is mind boggling. Want connection at home AND where you work? Or maybe even on your commute? Get out of here.

This chart has T-Mobile as the fastest everywhere. This shits rigged. My wife has Verizon and I have T-Mobile. She’s usually faster and her coverage is more reliable.

Just third? That’s not nearly as good as first. It’s not even as good as second. /s

Gonna be honest, I’m amazed at the strides T-Mobile has taken in the last 15 years. I first got it because it was a heck of a lot cheaper than AT&T, but there were enough gaps in coverage in suburban NJ and parts of NYC that I kinda understood why I was paying less. Now, I have better coverage than my wife who is on Verizon in most places, and I get significantly better international perks (which we use frequently enough that it’s meaningful). Bravo, T-Mobile!

Go inside and try to get T-Mobile to work though. I had to switch to Verizon because T-Mobile never worked inside buildings.

This feels like a T-mobile ad. I’ll agree t-mobile may be ok in the city but their coverage anywhere outside of metro areas is garbage.

It's always rigged, whenever any ISP/Mobile carrier detects that you are speed testing the network, all throttles are off.

Could also be network congestion, so on the busier part of the day the network will slice up its bandwidth to accommodate everyone.

For 5G it seems like my experience would change literally from block to block

I have the exact opposite experience to you. Same coverage in the city, mine becomes garbage in jersey, Long Island, and upstate while hers is fine. Overseas hers consistently is more reliable.

I've wondered if this is more because T-Mo really doesn't penetrate well or if it's because Verizon seems to have cornered the small-cell market. I've never seen a booster for anyone other than VZW in the buildings I've worked on.

On T-Mobile in JC and NYC I don’t get anywhere near those average speeds but it is usable for Zoom and FaceTime but can say for sure it is terrible for video calls or Personal Hotspot use in suburban parts of Nevada (Vegas or Henderson)

This is literally complete nonsense. This isn’t at all how any of this works.

Same, people were like wow you're poor, but my family has had a plan with T-Mobile for so long it was always cheaper and now they've really really come a long way, IMO, with network size and reliability. I never have any issues really and in the days of contracts we'd always have great deals for unlimited data. At one point a while back we were paying $5 per line for unlimited if I recall thanks to a grandfathered rate back with blackberry devices :)

Doesn't living next to a 5G tower guarantee that your frog children will want to eat 2nd amendment freedom and mate with socialist canaries? Not on my water tower no way buble'.

I'm considering buying a backup iphone 13 mini for when my current iphone 13 mini dies. I don't want a big phone, the mini is the perfect size for me. Very disappointed they scrapped the mini. I have the Samsung flip also thinking it'd be a nice small phone to have, but it's actually a lot bigger with a case on it. And annoying to use.
