How AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon differ in their early 5G approach
There’s lots of confusion around 5G, in part because each U.S. carrier has taken a different initial approach to 5G. In this new analysis, Opensignal tested 5G in downtown areas of U.S. cities to quantify these differences in the early 5G services from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon.
Sri Lanka, February 2020, Mobile Network Experience
In Opensignal’s first national report on Sri Lanka’s mobile network experience one operator dominated our award table. Dialog won four of our seven awards outright, and by very large margins in all of the categories. Mobitel was the closest to Dialog. The operator won two categories outright, tied with Dialog in Download Speed Experience and came in strong second in several of our metrics. However, Hutch and Airtel clearly have some catching up to do, especially with the latter being a 3G-only operator.
