T-Mobile's 5G speed has once again dominated the competition with downloads over twice as fast as Verizon and AT&T.

According to OpenSignal's January 2023 5G Experience Report, T-Mobile wins both the 5G Download Speed and 5G Upload Speed awards outright for the seventh consecutive time.

Our T-Mobile users enjoy average 5G download speeds clocking in at 186.3Mbps — more than 100Mbps faster than the speeds Verizon's users experience. T-Mobile is also the sole winner of 5G Upload Speed, with a score of 17.9Mbps — although second-placed Verizon has whittled away at T-Mobile's lead, halving the gap from 3.8Mbps seen in the last report to 1.9Mbps now.



In addition to far superior download speeds, T-Mobile also wins on 5G Availability with an impressive lead over its competitors.

Compared to the previous report, T-Mobile's score has improved by a sizable 9.2 percentage points. As a result, our 5G users on this network now connect to 5G or better services 49.7% of the time. This is 2.4 times more than AT&T 5G users and 5.6 times more than Verizon 5G users.



In terms of 5G Experience, Verizon edges out T-Mobile in Video Experience, Games Experience, and Voice App Experience. Verizon was just 0.3 points ahead in Video, 1.5 points ahead in Voice, and 3.8 points ahead in Games on a 100 point scale.

Verizon is the sole winner of 5G Video Experience with a score of 67.2 points on a 100 point scale. It wins the award by a hair, as T-Mobile is just 0.3 points behind Verizon, while AT&T brings up the rear with a score of 60.5 points. 5G Video Experience scores account for adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR), a technology that allows Opensignal to accurately represent users' real-world video experience including streaming resolutions as high as 4K quality using 5G.







Finally, T-Mobile also triumphs in 5G, scoring 8.3 on a 10 point scale. That significantly higher than AT&T at 5.9 points and Verizon at just 3.8 points.

If you're interested in trying out T-Mobile, the company is currently offering a three month free trial of its 5G service.

In addition to 5G for mobile devices, T-Mobile has also been pushing to expand its 5G Home Internet service. The company ended the 2022 with 2.6 million High Speed Internet customers.
