![]() ![]() The most notable result is AT&T’s lackluster download score. ![]() –AT&T had the highest upload score in ten cities Sprint was highest in two Verizon in only one. –Verizon got the highest download score in seven cities Sprint scored highest in four AT&T in two. AT&T didn’t score highest in reliability in any cities, and was often far behind its two competitors. –Out of the 13 cities, Verizon got the highest reliability rating in seven and Sprint got the highest one in six. –The performance varied a lot from city to city. And they tend to jibe with some of the anecdotal impressions that folks have about the three carriers: As Mark says in his story, the results are only a snapshot of how the networks did on a given day, in the particular locations in the specific cities that PCW and Novarum visited. PCW conducted this ambitious real-world experiment in partnership with Novarum, using Ixia’s IxChariot tool. Which is why I admire what Mark Sullivan and my other PC World pals did: compare the three carries for upload speed, download speed, and reliability in thirteen cities. Sprint claims to have “ America’s most dependable 3G network.” Verizon says it has “ America’s largest and most reliable wireless network.” AT&T says it has “ the nation’s fastest 3G network.” With wireless, in other words, everybody’s a winner–if you ask the carriers themselves. ![]()
