If you’re in the market for a new wireless carrier, you’re in luck because a new survey released on Friday has ranked the top four in the Seattle area.
According to GeekWire, Verizon beat T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T in the network speed category with the fastest average downloads in Root Metrics’ tests.
However, Verizon had the highest failure rate of 11.7 percent. AT&T scored the best with just 3.4 percent failure rate.
All four carriers were just about equal in blocked and dropped calls. Sprint performed the worst for text message deliveries.
Overall, according to Root Metrics, Verizon is your best bet.
