(We measured the best service we could get - 3G or 4G - in each testing location.) Over laptop modems, the Big Four carriers now have a collective average download speed of roughly 3.5 megabits per second in our 13 testing cities, versus a nearly 1-mbps average download speed in those cities at the beginning of 2010, a remarkable improvement. Wireless data speeds have soared: Since this time last year, the major wireless carriers, as a group, have increased their average download speeds for laptop-modem users by more than threefold, an apparent result of their urgent transition from 3G to 4G network technology.
We found some clear winners and losers, and some good news about wireless service in the United States as a whole. We decided to find out by testing each of the four major national carriers - AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon - in 260 locations spread among 13 U.S.
But beyond all the buzzwords and hype, which companies can reliably provide next-generation speed?
