T-Mobile US garnered the overall best 5G experience in the second half of 2022, per Rootmetrics, but AT&T also had a strong performance at the state level and Verizon did particularly well at the metro level. That’s a bit of a role reversal, considering that T-Mobile US used to have its primary strength at the city-level rather than nationally.
Overall, Rootmetrics said, 5G performance in the United States is “strong in general and should only improve over time as 5G continues to mature and expand.”
Across 125 markets tested, T-Mobile US had the highest 5G availability in 101 of them, and the best 5G download speeds in 68 markets. It was considered the “most reliable” 5G in just 19 markets, with Verizon dominating the reliability category in 95 markets.
