sites, we got an average of 59Mbps down on AT&T 5G as opposed to 94Mbps

T-Mobile’s 5G was 43 percent faster than its 4G at locations that had both
networks, and 54 percent faster citywide. But the carrier started out far enough
behind AT&T and Verizon that even that bump couldn’t cause it to completely
catch up. T-Mobile will need its upcoming mid-band 5G network, which it
hasn’t turned on yet in Columbus, to become a leader in Ohio.

result from AT&T’s 5G. Dallas was the only city where, at locations that AT&T
had both 4G and 5G, the 5G connection was consistently faster, although I don’t
think we hit any of AT&T’s “5G+” millimeter-wave spots.
