We found the fastest average mmWave 5G download speed of 692.9 Mbps using Verizon, which was three times as fast as our tests for AT&T and T-Mobile — 232.7 Mbps and 215.3 Mbps, respectively.
Benchmarking the Global 5G Experience – April 2021
Cities have a significantly better 5G experience than the national 5G results. For example, users in the city of Jeonju in South Korea have a 5G Download Speed of 415.6 Mbps which is 15% faster than South Korea's overall result.
mmWave 5G is almost thirty times faster than public Wifi, but with similar reach
Some types of 5G have very similar availability to public Wifi. For example, 5G smartphone users spend approximately 0.5% of time connected to 5G mmWave. Now, with 5G and especially with 5G mmWave, we see speeds on mobile that are much faster than with public Wifi.
