Ookla has published its Q2 2023 report for US mobile Internet speeds. T-Mobile continues its lead over competitors with faster download speeds, plus the best consistency, lowest latency, and more. Here’s how the numbers compare.
Ookla, creators of the popular Speedtest, shared its report for US mobile and broadband Internet performance for Q2 2023.
T-Mobile continued to outperform the competition for mobile service with a median download speed over 2x faster than Verizon and AT&T. The Uncarrier also won almost every other metric Ookla measured.
And the results closely mirror what Opensignal found recently.

My only issue with T-Mobile is once you get out of urban areas and into the boondocks the coverage goes down the toilet. But if 90% of the time you stay in well populated areas it's a fantastic provider.
I hate AT&T as much as the next person, but at least my phone works in the remote mountain area's I get into often. (Verizon seems comparable to this also)
For latency, T-Mobile just beat out Verizon with 54 ms:

For consistency, T-Mobile scored an 86.1%. Here’s how Ookla describes this metric: “In measuring the Consistency of each operator’s performance, we found that T-Mobile had the highest Consistency in the U.S. during Q2 2023, with 86.1% of results showing at least 5 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload speeds. Verizon Wireless and AT&T followed at 81.5% and 79.2%, respectively.”
