A recent report by Rootmetrics named AT&T as the best network for the first half of 2025, while T-Mobile's ads claim it has the best network based on the Ookla Speedtest Awards. The discrepancy arises from the different testing methods used by the two organizations. Rootmetrics combines crowdsourced data with independent testing, while Ookla relies on user-initiated test results. Verizon was recognized for the most reliable 5G experience, and T-Mobile had the fastest 5G and highest availability in major cities. The best network choice depends on individual needs and location, and it's essential to check coverage in your area. Each carrier has its strengths, and the most important thing is to find the one that works best for you.
