A new report from RootMetrics notes that AT&T’s LTE network consistently offers the fastest speeds of all current deployments, but Verizon’s network continues to dwarf all other LTE deployments in size and scope. AT&T’s LTE network provided an average of 18.6 Mbps downstream and 9 Mbps upstream with a maximum speed of 57.7 Mbps across 149 live LTE markets.
In contrast, Verizon’s LTE network delivered average speeds of 14.3 Mbps downstream and 8.5 Mbps upstream with top speeds of 49.3 Mbps across 470 active LTE markets. However, Rootmetrics says they found Verizon’s network connectivity more consistent.
“Within AT&T s LTE-enabled markets, we connected to LTE 81.7% of the time during our download tests. This rate of connection, while impressive, still trails what we found with Verizon.”
The findings match previous studies that show that while AT&T may have had some hiccups along the way the last few years, they’re doing LTE correctly, seeing spikes in both speed and customer satisfaction over their LTE network.
Meanwhile Sprint, which has only deployed LTE in 77 markets, saw average downstream speeds of 10.3 Mbps, average upstream speeds of 4.4 Mbps, and maximum speeds of 32.7 Mbps. Given the early portion of Sprint’s LTE deployment (and the fact that even “launched” markets have significant gaps currently), RootMetrics states they could only connect to Sprint’s network in 50.2% of download tests.

Iran, like Pakistan, in 2011 decided to make use of VPNs illegal, claiming the move was necessary for “security reasons” and to “stop militants” (easier spying is of course just coincidence). Reuters notes that the Iranian government have lately been clamping down harder on VPNs, hunting down and shuttering “illegal” VPNs. The country allows only official, surveillance-ready VPNs to operate. The clamp down comes as Iran prepares for its presidential election in June. Iran also filters or bans Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube significantly.
