With so much talk these days about wireless network speeds and companies like Verizon trying to hit those 1Gb downloads, it seemed like a nice time to open up a speed test battle. I don’t think we’ve done one of these in a good 3 or 4 years for some reason (since Verizon launched XLTE), and maybe that’s because everyone’s network started catching up to each other. But now that there seems to be a new focus on who the fastest wireless carrier is, this could be fun.
So, like we used to do, all you need to do is jump off WiFi, attach to your wireless network and run a speed test with Ookla’s Speedtest.net app. Once done, screenshot it and head into the comments to attach it to a comment. Be sure to tell us which carrier you are on as well. What good is a speed test battle if we don’t know which carrier only gave you 2Mbps down on? We need to know who to point the finger at while laughing.
For those curious, the three phones above are attached to AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile (in that order). I just ran those tests simultaneously moments ago. I really do live in the Verizon Black Hole of Signal Death. Go easy on them.
Ready? Go!



Sprint(ing) to the finish?

Observation, we (tech readers, tech writers, and general public) seem to have the notion that ONLY T-Mobile is bad in rural/suburban areas but after doing multiple speed test VZW is just as bad. My speeds are dismal in the suburbs but when I went into the city last night they were blazing, I thought I was paying for the best network and coverage but I may need to reconsider.

Take into consideration that when people say T-Mobile is bad in suburban/rural areas, they are talking about both coverage and speeds. When people say Verizon is bad in suburban/rural areas, they are only talking about speeds. I just took a road trip earlier today (about 70 miles to where I wanted to go, and 70 miles back) Verizon had coverage about 95% of the time, while T-Mobile only had coverage about 70% of the time. Speeds also depend on where you are, just because Verizon doesn’t work well in your suburban area, doesn’t mean that it’s going to be bad in every suburban/rural area. I’ve been in a lot of rural areas that Verizon could still pull 30 mbps+ down. Another thing to take into consideration is Verizon has double the amount of subscribers than T-Mobile does, so the more people using up the network, the slower its going to be. If T-Mobile had the same amount of subscribers that Verizon or AT&T had, they would be pretty slow in a lot of areas too. People pay more for Verizon because Verizon offers way more coverage, and Verizon is always upgrading their cell phone towers, and building more towers all around the country. Not to mention T-Mobile just raised their One Plus plan to $80 dollars/month. That’s just as expensive as Verizon’s unlimited plan.

IMHO speed doesn’t matter if you’re coverage sucks. Verizon, slowest of the bunch (I’ve had them all, AT&T and TMobile all recently), but coverage is noticeably better for people like me that travel around a lot (mostly in my region PNW, but east coast, so cal, Hawaii etc from time to time too). On the others, always had times where signal was non existent and I needed it. With Verizon that rarely happens and I still currently have at&t in my truck that my phone connects to, as a result every now and then I have to turn WiFi off on my phone as a result (I keep it for client use though). But, there are places where there is no Verizon signal and there is an at&t one, so for those rare times that comes in really handy.
We just want speeds, bro!!
Man we’re talking about screenshots here. Cut it with the typing 😉
Can’t, unless you want to see my in-laws wifi speed, 1x currently on Verizon (my wife’s at&t is the same).
Post it!
1X these days would probably fail to even do a speedtest. “Communication error” I bet. If it did complete it, prolly 0.02 Mbps or so.

Doesn’t project fi use whatever connection is closest? So you could be on WiFi at a Walmart that’s 2 blocks away? Even if it shows a cell signal? I haven’t used it but I hear it’s junk.
Play54s
Fi connects to safe, open, trusted WiFi networks. Nobody is getting WiFi from two blocks away, and it doesn’t show cell signal when you’re on WiFi. It shows the WiFi logo when you’re on WiFi. My speed test was done with WiFi turned off, connected to T-Mobile (which just has poor signal where I did the test). Fi isn’t junky at all, it’s pretty great if you live in a reasonably covered area, and use little data.

Nice unlocked S8. That’s what I’m rocking on VZ too.
Mine is actually the VZW variant with Canadian software. The unlocked ones have the generic signal bars and LTE indicator as well? Can you get to *#0011#? I like how if there’s more than 25 MHz aggregated in the downlink, it shows “LTE+”.
Just tried and the code did not work in the dialer.
No service mode doesn’t work unfortunately. I could probably flash the Canadian software on mine but I’m too lazy lol
How bout *#*#info#*#*
Maybe not the same thing but it gives some options.
Nope.
I played with the unlocked FW on my S8+ as well, live having the LTE+ indicator, had to go back because need wifi calling at the house where no carrier works well. Looks like you have a message from “another app” starting with an S pending at the top of your screen, how can I find you on there? 😉
Haha. RTP in Louisville on there.
I don’t need WiFi calling anywhere around here fortunately. VoLTE works great but video calling does not. Don’t need that anyway.
Hey, could you check your PM on howardforums? I need some help with the Canadian firmware. 🙂

Fake
Not bothering with a screenshot after that one, but I am getting 55 Mbps Down and 35 Mbps Up on Verizon in central ND.
I live in Louisville, this is fake. I speed test Verizon all the time and never have come within even half of this result.
Lol fake huh? Exactly how do you fake a speed test? And why would I waste my time doing that?
If you’ve never come up with even half of that result in Louisville then you have serious phone problems.
Here’s another screenshot from the same time showing multiple cellular connected speed tests. Or did I fake that too? Don’t be ridiculous.

Those speeds look right to me. I will say this after living in Louisville, where you are in the city has a big impact on your speeds…at least when I lived there up to 2 years ago. Louisville had some horrible dead zones.

Verizon prepaid on a T-Mobile iPhone 6s plus.
Careful reading too much into these results. Often times they can be limited by the server, just because it’s closest, doesn’t mean it will be the fastest. I got 4.5 Mbps down from a server a few towns over and 38 Mbps down from one 150 miles away.

T-Mobile in Nashville, TN. Indoors. Pretty consistant with what I see when I’ve run speedtests in this area in the past.

Kicking it off, even though you can see mine above. Leaving out the Verizon shot, though, lolz. First is AT&T, second is T-Mo.
