AT&T winning the broadband speed game

by Joe on February 25, 2010

Which of the major mobile provides has the fastest transfer speeds? We’ve seen a number of attempts to nail this down, and it seems that each time we get a different answer. A Gizmodo survey said Sprint. Another said AT&T. So which is it? PC World got into the game, and has found that AT&T is the fastest. This isn’t by any insignificant margin, either. Their average download speed is 60 percent faster than the next closest competitor, Verizon, and the average upload speed is 78 percent faster

Surprisingly, according to PC World AT&T’s speeds tested three times faster in New York than they did in the spring. So perhaps the company really is working to improve its network. Or perhaps enough people got frustrated and switched that it feed up bandwidth. Who knows.
