Verizon, is this even a question? They have deployments in the downtowns of most major cities and most sports stadiums also. Both of the major downtowns near me you could walk through and never drop mmWave on Verizon.

Att tried to install it a bit too, but there’s is very sparse. Tmobile it literally doesn’t exist anywhere except for like 1 block in NYC. But Tmobile has the best mid band coverage so they’re in no hurry to deploy mmWave when their n41 will reliably do 800+ mbps in most markets

Verizon definitely has the most, in terms of actual mmWave deployments. As for the other two mainstream carriers, I’m not sure which one is ahead of the other. T-Mobile and AT&T both prioritized midband for 5G a lot earlier than Verizon did.

Verizon and it’s not even remotely close. On cellmapper, you can filter by the mmWave bands (n258/260/261) to signal trails by carrier

I'd say it's probably Verizon, AT&T, then T-Mobile, in that order based on my experiences. 

Here in los Angeles T-Mobile has the fastest speeds and Verizon is second and like I said at&t is the worse In data speeds . But I HAVE noticed At&t has the best quality indoors . Costco in Alhambra for example and the Montebello mall and MANY OTHER buildings and stores I have seen it wit my own eyes both T-Mobile and even Verizon crap out completely deep inside and go to SOS and get absolutely no signal so u can't call or text or use data , but at&t in the same building deep inside while the other 2 have nothing at&t always gets at least 1 or 2 bars and it works to call and use data yes the data is really slow but it works that's better than having absolutely nothing on T-Mobile and Verizon.

AT&T has much more low band (mainly 850 MHz) 5G coverage to complement their midband 5G, than Verizon. With Verizon, it’s basically n77 C-band or nothing in a lot of areas.

It’s a bit of an oversimplification, but it’s little bit of both IMO.

AT&T’s 5G (not 5G+) is essentially just very slightly upgraded LTE. This is why oftentimes the speeds aren’t any different than LTE would be. It’s also very low band so speeds are never going to be that good on it. 5G+ however is “real” 5G (mid band and high band) and, while they still rely on an LTE anchor, it is still very fast.

Verizon took a similar approach with their 5G rollout. Lots of low band LTE being relabeled 5G. However they have a lot more 5G UW (mid and high band) than att does with 5G+. But, in my experience in my area, Verizon will oftentimes fall back to LTE if you aren’t connected to 5G UW rather than “fake” 5G.

In summary, I would say Verizon is leading ATT significantly in terms of actual 5G coverage. But ATT and Verizon, in my experience, still have great coverage overall with their low band “fake” 5G.

I find the opposite, att c-band is all over the burbs. Verizon's is weak to non-existant other than DT Seattle. Even there, must be close and no skyscraper blocking that mmWave...

Didn’t Verizon turn off their low-band 5G? Perhaps that’s why they’re showing less 5G coverage.

As are Verizon’s which show 5G+ where I live and you get LTE and 2-3 Mbit throughout 

Att has more coverage cuz of firstnet that even cricket customers have better coverage than us on Verizon . I cannot tell u how many times here in rural California I on Verizon have very crappy slow data or no signal while my brother with cricket connect to band 14 which is first net and he has working stable signal. I am very surprised at&t actually let cricket customers connect to band 14 but they apparently do and that improved coverage for them .

The Verizon upload and ping will be your best bet for gaming.

Make sure to do a Speedtest after 5pm and before 9pm (peak streaming hours), preferably on Friday night. Then compare from there.

Get them all.

I have Verizon 5G because AT&T discontinued DSL in my area and doesn’t offer anything else yet. If you are getting low speeds, there is a place in the app that allows you to get a stronger signal based on the location of the cell tower near you. It’s in the troubleshooting area of the app.

I’ve yet to have problems and get over 300mbps in my area.

Wow, T-Mobile has horrible LTE compared to the other two, but their 5G is awesome.

Verizon 5Gnr is really sad compared to att and T-Mobile

Then explain the chart? I use Verizon I'm happy with their service but why does the chart show so much difference than what you are saying

T-Mobile looks to be pulling ahead much faster than the others. I’ve been surprised testing lately in rural areas in MO that T-Mobile is very competitive, if not the best for coverage and speed.

Damn Verizon is lagging behind that bad??

Can you do dish wireless aka boost possibly?

Both VZW and ATT are in a tricky spot because they have more customers than their spectrum can really support if they plan to go on a price war with T-Mobile (who has excess spectrum due to the sprint acquisition) and go all out unlimited etc. C band will help but it’s a long ways off and won’t really make an impact until a lot of the existing base upgrades to a phone that supports c band.

I think Verizon’s best bet in the future will be to refarm spectrum that it was using for cdma and repurpose that for LTE/5G. They need to shut down cdma ASAP and become a full VoLTE/VoNR network. That way they essentially have all this new empty spectrum that was previously used for cdma

That's small areas Verizon still number 2 network ATT best

I came from AT&T to Verizon with a short stay at T-mobile in between. I had spotty coverage for years with AT&T but one month of absolutely the worst coverage I could imagine was enough to convince me I'll never make the T-mobile mistake again.

I’m about to switch to T-Mobile. Verizon used to be really good but lately at both my home and work I have 1 bar of signal. And last month I could even make a phone call in front of our customer. Meanwhile coworkers with T-Mobile can’t keep shut up how good it is. Am I the only one noticing decline in service quality and coverage?

I switched recently from at&t and I miss the speed, Verizon is more consistent but at&t is far faster at least where I live, another thing to note on at&t's elite plan you do really actually get 100gb of high speed Verizon is half

What part of the country do you live in?

Atts promos are aggressive right now, .99 cent iPads and free phones. Help with payoff of old carrier, more like a "payback" just saying. Also, if you have their fiber 20% off one service. Autopay on checking account and paperless billing gives you another $10 off per line as well.

Have you considered switching to US Mobile? You can try all 3 networks by “teleporting” and seeing which network is best in areas you frequent. No one can tell you definitively how your experience on ATT will be. For most people it’s fine. I buy the turbo add on for $7 to mitigate any congestion, I figure being on that QCI is worth the $7 because majority of customers probably are not.

It’s worth mentioning if priority and congestion is your concern that Verizon lets their MVNO lines be on the same QCI as post paid, T-Mobile does not except for Google Fi, and AT&T is a mixed bag allowing it added for a fee.

What kind of problem are you having with T Mobile.

The wife kind of wants to. My concern is some friends on firstnet have had some really bad experiences.

Oh yeah and, there is no SA unable to connect like T-Mobile and Verizon, unfortunately. Anybody knows when AT&T will reach T-Mobile and Verizon’s state?

only in that one spot

Okayyy should I share my t-mobile speedtest of 1605 / 144 in one specific spot too?

I don’t get charged extra idk what you’re taking about

Im actually getting faster speeds most of the time on att now. It wasnt that way not too long ago. It was almost always tmobile but comparing the two side by side and at least for me att is usually faster and more usable now.

Ive been very surprised

AT&T has the biggest network overall thanks to their FirstNet deal, under which they have built out the largest LTE network in the US, but their 5G network coverage would be second to T-Mobile’s. As for better, that totally depends on your area. AT&T’s network seems to be less congested than Verizon’s, on average, but Verizon has more C-Band spectrum (than AT&T) that they’re using to roll out their mid-band 5G network.

I vote AT&T as the better network. ✨

Unless you're constantly traveling throughout the US, the "bigger" or "better" overall network doesn't matter. What matters is which network is the best for you, where you live and work and use your phone the most. Not just in coverage, but in providing a stable and fast connection.

Root Metrics has awarded AT&T best overall national network 3 years in a row, as well as similar accolades from GWS and their one score drive testing.

All phone companies claim this lol

My bet is on T Mobile. I recently switched from ATT to Mint Mobile and the coverage and speed is much better. At least in my area.

Speed vs coverage babe. Saying T-mobile is a “juggernaut” is wild 🤣

Fun fact. AT&T will soon have much more 5g customers soon. Starting end of 2025 into 2027 as part of a network upgrade (among things such as Google EDGE servers) McDonald’s restaurants will be moving from 4G LTE backups to 5G backups. In initiative known as Global Restaurant Network Transformation (GRNT)(all network equipment besides the modems in McDonald’s restaurants are handled by AT&T). If they haven’t won before. They have now. 14,000 more 5G customers.

The amount of bandwidth dedicated to low band 5G is tiny - that is why areas without n77 are frequently faster on LTE only. AT&T is going to have to refarm a lot of low bandwidth spectrum to 5G to have any chance of competing with, for example, n71 on T-Mobile.

I think n79 will mainly give them a leg up, though T-Mobile is leaps and bounds ahead of AT&T (and Verizon) today.

We’re really at a point where 5G has only been a marginal improvement over 4G though, and there’s not really anything someone can do on a phone over 5G that they can’t do over 4G, unless they’re on mmWave 5G, and T-Mobile had to do something to improve their network because it was barebones.
