Despite new testing being on hold due to the pandemic, RootMetrics is moving ahead with carrier-specific reports on the 55 cities it has already tested in the first half of this year. It began this week with AT&T, reporting that the carrier’s LTE network had seen “particularly impressive gains” in speed since RootMetrics’ last round of testing in the second half of 2019.
“We found excellent and improved download speeds on the carrier’s 4G LTE network in the 55 markets we completed testing before we paused our scouting efforts, and AT&T’s low-band 5G is also providing generally fast speeds (though not as fast as Verizon’s mmWave 5G),” according to a RootMetrics blog post on the data.
