OpenSignal Releases First 'Fixed Broadband Experience Report' for the U.S.

OpenSignal has released its first Fixed Broadband Experience Report for the United States, offering a comparison of various broadband providers, including T-Mobile and Verizon 5G Home Internet.

The report compares real world experience across six different measures: Broadband Success Rate, Broadband Consistent Quality, Broadband Video Experience, Broadband Download Speed, Broadband Peak Download Speed and Broadband Upload Speed.

No broadband provider offers service to every home. As a result, any national experience table will in practice miss the most important details for users comparing the broadband experience in their area. For this reason, in this first report we have analyzed the real-world situation, across all users’ plans, in 25 major markets to assess the fixed broadband experience. We use metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) as definitions of each market — each centers around a large city or population center.


OpenSignal found that 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) players are typically middle of the pack across the six essential measures of fixed broadband experience. Incumbent cable and telecom companies typically beat the new entrant 5G FWA providers, at least for now. In most markets, cable companies (Xfinity, Cox, etc) had the highest Broadband Download Speed scores. However, if you are in an area not serviced well by cable providers, 5G Home Internet is a great alternative.
