From CNET: Verizon topped the charts in network quality, according to the latest report from RootMetrics, a company that independently tests wireless networks.
T-Mobile also jumped in RootMetrics' rankings, beating Sprint for third place nationwide in terms of overall quality.
"Verizon has recaptured the top spot in speed, while AT&T has slipped a little," Bill Moore, CEO for RootMetrics, said in an interview. "Overall the companies are neck and neck. When it comes to reliability, AT&T is getting closer to parity with Verizon."
RootMetrics released the results from its 2014 Midyear US National RootScore Report on Monday. The report provides insights and comparisons of network performance for the entire United States, within each of the 50 states, as well as in the 125 largest metro areas in the country. RootMetrics testers drove more than 234,000 miles, visited more than 6,4000 indoor locations and conducted more than 5.6 million tests across all 50 states, the company said. The tests RootMetrics conducts measure speed, reliability, call, and text messaging quality among other metrics. It ranks the carriers nationally, but also offers insights into performance based on individual states and local communities.
